How do Private and Public Cloud solutions differ?
Public cloud is characterised by an array of value-added services such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other cutting-edge offerings that enhance efficiency and productivity. On the other hand, private cloud stands out with uncompromising low and stable fixed costs, weekly or monthly billing, clear and concise security guidelines, and state-of-the-art data protection measures that ensure total peace of mind.
Is the private cloud a good solution for my business?
Managed private cloud services are a good option for many sectors, providing close customization and contractual cost agreements, while meeting compliance requirements. It is recommended for highly regulated sectors and companies prioritizing reliability, control, security, and compliance, particularly in hybrid cloud scenarios.
Cloud Security Services: Securely into the private cloud
However, in the realm of digital manufacturing, we advocate for an elevated level of security measures. Edge IIoT devices and interconnected machinery within production networks present prime targets for cyber threats. Malicious actors often exploit vulnerabilities in these systems, aiming to disrupt operations by targeting critical Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) interfaces. To mitigate such risks, Zircoo operates a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) equipped with advanced capabilities like Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) and comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment & Management services. These additional layers of defense are essential in safeguarding against potential disruptions and ensuring the uninterrupted flow of production processes.
