NYC area cloud migration expert
gives expert tips for improving a critical element of the data
migration plan: ensuring security and data integrity—in a new
article from Messaging Architects
HOBOKEN,
N.J., April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and
cloud migration expert, has published a new article outlining
essential factors organizations should consider when conducting a
data migration.
Migrations do increase the risk that data
will become corrupted, lost, or vulnerable to unauthorized access.
However, with careful planning and the right tools, organizations
can proceed with confidence.
The article first warns companies of data security and integrity
issues that can arise when migrating data to a new location. The
author then suggests steps the migration team should take before,
during, and after the migration to minimize those risks and ensure
a smooth migration.
"Migrations do increase the risk that data will become
corrupted, lost, or vulnerable to unauthorized access. However,
with careful planning and the right tools, organizations can
proceed with confidence," commented Greg
Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging
Architects.
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Ouch-proof Data
Migration Plan: Ensuring Security and Data Integrity."
Know the Risks
"Moving data from one location to another increases the risk of
data breach for several reasons. In the first place, multiple
touchpoints along the way mean additional opportunities for cyber
criminals to exploit potentially weakened security protocols. And
data in transit requires additional security to guard against
interception attacks."
Before: Essential Preparation
"Avoid migrating a mess. Ensure that source systems are
validated and checked for errors. Deduplicate and correct errors as
much as possible with your source data. This will reduce the risk
of post-migration issues and improve overall data quality."
During: Security Through the Journey
"Data becomes particularly vulnerable in the process of moving
from one location to another, and bad actors know that. This
becomes particularly important if data is being buffered in a
third-party location, rather than going directly from the source
location to the target. Therefore, ensure strong encryption of all
communications between the source and the target."
After: Verification Is Key
"Once the migration process has completed but before going live,
thoroughly validate data integrity. Data validation tools will
allow you to ensure the accuracy and completeness of your
transferred information. Identify and address any
discrepancies."
Ensuring Security and Data Integrity Easier with the Right
Partner
Every data migration involves some risk, but following best
practices before, during, and after migration mitigates risks and
ensures migration success. Additionally, partnering with data
migration experts like those at Messaging Architects helps to
ensure a smooth and secure migration process.
