1 Use strong passwords

One of the simplest and most effective ways to secure your laptop in the cloud is to use strong passwords for your accounts and devices. A strong password should be at least eight characters long, include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoid common or predictable words or phrases. You should also change your passwords regularly and use different passwords for different services. A password manager can help you create and store your passwords securely.

2 Enable encryption

Encryption is a process that converts your data into an unreadable code that can only be decrypted with a key. Encryption can help you secure your laptop in the cloud by preventing unauthorized access to your data, even if your device is lost, stolen, or hacked. You can enable encryption on your laptop by using built-in features, such as BitLocker for Windows or FileVault for Mac, or by using third-party software or hardware. You can also encrypt your data before uploading it to the cloud by using tools like VeraCrypt or Boxcryptor.

You can also use MDM tool like intune to enforce encryption for laptop in the cloud at all times (Encryption at rest). Enforce TLS encryption in your browser communications via proxy agents like Zscaler or Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB).

3 Choose a reliable cloud provider

Not all cloud providers are created equal when it comes to security. You should choose a cloud provider that offers high-level encryption, data backup, access control, and compliance with industry standards and regulations. You should also read the terms and conditions, privacy policy, and service level agreement of the cloud provider to understand how they handle your data, what rights and responsibilities you have, and what recourse you have in case of a breach or dispute.

A good rule of thumb is to choose cloud providers that are ISO27001 certified to implement the relevant security controls that work across multiple security standards.

4 Update your software

Keeping your software updated is another important way to secure your laptop in the cloud. Software updates often include security patches that fix vulnerabilities and bugs that hackers can exploit. You should update your operating system, browser, antivirus, firewall, and other applications regularly and automatically. You should also avoid downloading or opening files or links from unknown or suspicious sources that may contain malware or phishing attempts.

It is important to have an up to date software inventory of all your endpoints and automated process of patching using tools to ensure all endpoints are patched in the shortest amount of time. Some organizations used a TVM software, threat vulnerability management software to manage the end to end of the software vulnerability management.

5 Use two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security feature that requires you to verify your identity with two pieces of information, such as a password and a code sent to your phone or email, when you log in to a service or device. 2FA can help you secure your laptop in the cloud by adding an extra layer of protection against hackers who may steal or guess your password. You should enable 2FA for your cloud accounts and devices whenever possible and use a trusted device or app to receive the codes.

2FA or MFA should be enforced at policy level to ensure every users are fully protected. 2FA is your last line of defense against security token theft which is very common these days due to phishing email attacks. If possible a phish resistant method like passwordless or security key login is the most preferred method to secure your laptop.

6 Be careful with public networks

Public networks, such as Wi-Fi hotspots, can be convenient for laptop users who want to access the cloud on the go. However, they can also be insecure and expose your data to hackers who may intercept or modify your traffic. To secure your laptop in the cloud while using public networks, you should use a virtual private network (VPN) that encrypts your connection and hides your IP address. You should also avoid logging in to sensitive accounts or services, such as banking or email, and turn off file sharing and Bluetooth features.
