What does the cloud actually mean?
In the modern world, the usage of the "cloud" permeates into all aspects of our lives. While the term is everywhere, it is hard to find a description of what exactly people mean by the ambiguous phrase. The cloud is just a term describing a computer that performs tasks, or stores data that is accessed by some remote means. Most of the time, these computers are referred to as servers because their sole purpose is to serve data and provide services to a client. These service scan include archiving data, running applications, among many other activities.The issue with security comes because these machines are accessed remotely by numerous people. This means they need a particular way for you to send your data to them so that it can't be intercepted by anyone, and also it needs to be categorized on the machine so that after it is stored, it can only be accessed by the person who has the rights.

How does the cloud protect your data?
Encrypting data traveling to and from a server and then securing it once it gets there are the two major objectives for any cloud service provider. Let's break these two tasks down into the very basics to illustrate how these functions work so you, as the user, can feel comfortable in usingthem for bookkeeping services.
[1] - Encrypting the Transfer of Data
Encrypting the data is a lot less enigmatic than it seems. Essentially the server you are sending data to, and the device you are sending it from are using a secret code make data unreadable to anyone who doesn't have the code. The code typically gets generated when you log into a server with a username and password so that only the device you are using, and the server know what that code is. The server handles generating a new unique secret code for every device that connects to it so that the code is unique for every device.
[2] - Storing Your Data with Protections
Once the encoded data has reached its destination, the server then decodes the data and stores it for you in a location that can only be accessed by the intended username and password. This ensures that the data protected from unauthorized access. This storage is so secure that the most effective tactic for stealing it is to try and trick people into giving up their usernames and passwords. This is why it's so crucial that you don't use your username and password in non- protected locations such as email.
