Amazon, Microsoft, Google step up cloud computing security

The cyberattack on Microsoft, allowing hackers access to top US officials’ emails, has raised concerns about data protection. In response, big tech companies – Amazon, Google and Microsoft – are explaining their security protocols more transparently. Experts have said that these companies’ systems are more secure than government-owned ones. However, authorities are calling for even better cybersecurity measures from these companies. Despite such hacks, the responsibility is shared, with much of the burden falling on providers well equipped to handle it, such as the aforementioned tech companies.
