PCI DSS v4.0.1-Compliant Financial Data Management
In June 2024, the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council released version 4.0.1 of the PCI Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) detailing numerous best practices which organizations that store and process payment card information should implement. PCI DSS outlines the ways in which compliant organizations must store and process information, including when that data is stored on the cloud. With cloud storage and the popularity of online payments expanding, modern organizations must understand how they can remain compliant and trustworthy to end users and customers. As of April 1st, 2025, these new “best practices” become mandatory and are within scope of audit for continued compliance.

Why Project-Based Malware Protection is Inadequate
Data migration to the cloud accelerates each year. By 2025, over 100 zettabytes of data1 will be stored in some form of cloud storage resource. If your organization stores data in the cloud, you are likely aware of the security risks associated with cloud-based malware, misconfigurations, and other issues that result in data loss or compliance violations. Today, the vast majority of organizations focus their efforts exclusively on protecting their “most important” resources, like repositories with sensitive information. Meanwhile, many other repositories are left unprotected and undefended. While this might seem like a cost and time-saving approach, operating with a project-based security strategy instead of an inclusive, programmatic strategy is like locking your front door and never checking your back door, leaving your entire enterprise vulnerable to malware infiltration.

Building a Strategy to Secure Your Cloud Storage
Organizations continue to move their data to the cloud at increasing rates, year after year. While the types of data migrating to the cloud have stayed largely the same (social security numbers, credit card information, or other sensitive data), the threats to data stored in the cloud continue to evolve. To consider data truly protected, organizations must approach the unique challenges facing cloud storage with attention, research, and a willingness to invest in effective defenses.
