what it is for and cloud security

Another advantage is the persistence of the data, which is much safer in this regard. The cloud platforms are specially designed for fault resistance, saving duplicates for example if there is a problem on a hard disk. Following the example of Quipu, it is much safer not to lose the invoices if they are in the cloud, since we will use a professionalized system for that purpose, not if they are on an external hard drive of ours, which may eventually fail, or if they are in a filing cabinet, which we can easily lose or can be damaged for any reason.

Drawbacks?

The cloud also has some drawbacks. An obvious one is the (relative) loss of control over our data, since we delegate them to someone other than us. We do not have the photos in a device at your fingertips, but to a place on the Internet of which we do not know their physical location. Even so, it is a loss of relative control: the provider of any cloud service is the first interested in the perfect operation of its service; In this sense, we can better approach the cloud as a delegation of responsibilities.

Another drawback is that our data travels over the Internet, from when they leave our device until they reach the service provider in question. That could be a vulnerability at first, since anyone in the middle could access this information or even modify it before it reaches its destination. To mitigate and eliminate this problem, SSL certificates are used to ensure, 100%, that data travels securely over the Internet, without anyone being able to access or alter them.
