Consider security levels

 Security is the number one criterion for choosing the right cloud provider. Specifically, when evaluating a potential provider, you must ensure that all user access and activity can be monitored and verified. By tracking the use of cloud applications, you can see where most of the activity occurs and identify regular patterns.


A provider must be able to recognize user patterns and flow for those who access a cloud instance and thus alert and stop seemingly unauthorized attempts. It is important to evaluate your contract and know what security responsibilities will be handled by the supplier.


Examine its compliance with standards (for example, ISO 27000). Check your history and see if there are any recorded security breach incidents. In addition, as you progress through the legal and contract processes, make sure that the provider you select follows established cloud security standards. See how they are preparing for LGPD.

Although it is not mandatory for IT technicians to hold certifications, it would be beneficial if they have CompTIA certifications in Linux+, A+, CCNA or MCP. Knowledge of SQL and MAC and Windows OS is essential.

Pay attention to service levels

This consideration is essential when companies have strict needs in terms of availability, response time, capacity and support (which, let's face it, almost everyone does today).


Service level agreements (SLAs) in the cloud are an important element to consider when choosing a provider. It is vital to establish a clear contractual relationship between a cloud service customer and a cloud service provider. There is the cloud SLA and the managed service provider's SLA. They are different and complementary. Be aware of this, as some companies tend to mix the two. A partner who makes it clear what the response time and unavailability of one and the other in a transparent manner is someone who is playing for your success.


Special attention should also be paid to the legal requirements for the security of data hosted on the cloud service, mainly in light of the regulations of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD).

Cloud-based DDoS Protection

Don’t let the DDoS attack interrupt your business operation for reputational and financial loss. Use cloud-based denial of service protection to prevent getting hacked. Denial-of-service attack definition Anyone with bad intentions can hire a hacking service for a targeted attack. Malware tools are accessible, easy to use, and effective. Not just large companies, but cybercriminals are looking for any size vulnerable victims, including personal blogs, e-commerce shops, small to medium businesses. One type of attack is particularly dangerous and increasingly common. It is called distributed denial of service attack, or DDoS for short. In a DDoS attack, a set of compromised, distributed systems –could be servers, home computers, Internet-of-Things devices, anything connected to the internet– is used to overwhelm a targeted system with a flood of requests, to the point in which the attacked system gets saturated enough to refuse to work. Since the flood comes from many scattered...

What are the benefits of purchasing a SaaS model?

After all, companies that host their cloud services can increase the degree of efficiency applied to the processes, improving the results obtained.  So, do you want to know the other benefits that this service model provides? Just keep following this post! 1. More accurate software licensing costs Software licensing costs are often among the main factors that contribute to the weight of the IT sector in a company's budget. Therefore, reducing this expense (or making it more precise) is an objective that is part of the daily life of any IT manager. In this sense, SaaS is considered one of the best alternatives on the market. With SaaS, the company pays only for the number of active licenses. This dramatically eliminates spending on software licenses that are not in use. With this, the company can prepare itself in advance in case of projects or major structural changes. ...

What are the English proficiency levels?

 The classification used by language courses - basic, intermediate and advanced - is not exactly related to the levels of English proficiency that are based on the categorization of the European Common Framework or Framework. This guide considers the international standard ranking, which divides the degree of knowledge of the language into: See more:  Amazon Saheli Quiz Answers A1 (beginner) A2 (basic) B1 (intermediate) B2 (post-intermediate) C1 (advanced) C2 (proficient) Before you make any assessment, no matter how much you have prepared for it, pre-tests are recommended to find out where you would be classified if you took the test at that time. If your rating is below B2, in little or nothing a proficiency certificate will help you. Although many foreign universities consider the B1 level sufficient, the classes are already so complex even for those who have a perfect level of understanding of English, imagine for those who do not speak the language. Professionally speakin...
