Advantages .png?width=60&height=60&name=GLI%20Map%20Element%20(11).png)
Cost-Effective: Cloud services can be more cost-effective than on-premises solutions as they typically do not require significant upfront investments in hardware and infrastructure.
Scalable: Cloud services will provide you with the ability to scale your computing resources up or down as you need to, making it easy to meet constantly changing gaming industry demands.
Flexibility: Cloud services offer people the flexibility of where and how to access your data, which is beneficial for companies that have adopted remote work and team collaboration.
Disaster Recovery: Cloud services often include strong disaster recovery abilities, which can help you to ensure business continuity in the event of an unexpected outage or disaster.
Automatic Updates: Cloud services typically offer automatic updates and upgrades, which can help to ensure that your systems are always up-to-date and secure.
Drawbacks .png?width=60&height=60&name=GLI%20Map%20Element%20(12).png)
Security: Cloud services may be vulnerable to security breaches. It may be much more difficult to maintain control over your data when it is stored on a third-party platform. Therefore, it’s critical to ensure you have the proper resources and tools to continuously maintain your cloud-based IT environment.
Compliance Concerns: Compliance regulations may require you to maintain control over your data, infrastructure, and location in the state of operation, which may be difficult to achieve with cloud services.
Necessity of Internet Connection: Cloud services require a reliable internet connection to access data, which may be a concern in remote areas with poor connectivity.
Inadequate Ability to Customize: Cloud services may not offer the same level of customization as on-premises solutions do now in the gaming industry, which may limit your ability to tailor your systems to your specific needs.
Service Reliability: While cloud services offer disaster recovery capabilities, they may still be vulnerable to service outages or interruptions, which could impact your ability to access your data.

Train & Educate Your Employees
Educating your employees on security best practices is a critical component of any organization’s long-term security strategy. Ensure that your employees are mindful and aware of the risks that are associated with cloud services and are properly trained on how to use them securely..png?width=100&height=100&name=GLI%20Map%20Element%20(22).png)
Protect Sensitive Data
Typically, encryption happens by default at the infrastructure and network level. However, an issue that could arise is when people allow public share access to the file, and they expose the data unencrypted. Therefore, it’s critical to protect your data from unauthorized users and access.

Monitor Security Threats
Frequently monitoring your cloud services for security threats is vital for detecting and responding to potential security breaches before they happen. Consider using security monitoring tools like a security incident and event management (SIEM) platform and qualified people to help you identify and alert you to any potential threats..png?width=100&height=100&name=GLI%20Map%20Element%20(20).png)
Implement Access Controls
Access controls are an important part of any security strategy. Ensure your casino is implementing strong access controls for your cloud services, including multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and access logging and monitoring. .png?width=100&height=100&name=GLI%20Map%20Element%20(21).png)
Stay Up to Date on Security Best Practices
Compliance rules and regulations are constantly changing, and the security landscape is ever-evolving. It's important to stay up to date on best practices for securing your cloud services.
