Protecting Your Business Data: The Importance of Cloud Security and Backup with Providhy

Did you know ransomware attacks have surged over the last couple of years, fueled by AI-driven threats, leaving traditional on-premise ERP systems among the most vulnerable targets? This is primarily because on-premise ERP systems lag behind in receiving the latest patch updates, putting your business data at unnecessary risk.

So, what’s the smarter solution? A secure, cloud-based Software as a Product (SaaS) ERP like Providhy. With automatic updates and proactive security protocols, Providhy helps keep your data protected—so you can focus on running your business, not defending it.

Why On-Premise ERP Systems Fall Short

We do understand that many tend to feel on-premise ERP systems as a safer choice in terms of data security, despite their high installation, maintenance, and resource costs. After all, they are the product of investing your precious time, money, and trust.

However, given the rapidly evolving cyber threats, these systems are having a hard time keeping up with them. So, let’s examine the key areas where on-premise ERP systems fall short in today’s cybersecurity landscape:

1. Slow Patching and Security Updates

Unlike cloud-based systems like Providhy that update regularly, on-premise ERPs often rely on manual patching. These delays leave your system vulnerable to evolving AI-driven enhanced threats.

A 2019 IDC study found that 64% of organizations using ERP systems reported experiencing a security breach. It highlighted that various vulnerabilities, including unpatched, outdated systems and other security gaps, increased the risk of data breaches.

2. High Initial Costs and Hidden Vulnerabilities

On-premise ERP systems come with steep upfront investments in servers, hardware, and IT teams. Ironically, despite the heavy cost, many businesses still struggle to maintain robust cybersecurity, leaving them exposed to evolving threats.

In addition to the delay, such a type of ERP system requires dedicated manpower to do the timely inspection of the system

3. Limited Accessibility and Disaster Recovery Challenges

An on-site server is only as strong as its physical location. In cases of fire, flood, or power failure, businesses relying on local ERP systems often face catastrophic data loss. Cloud systems like Providhy ensure that your data remains safe, accessible, and recoverable—even during unexpected disasters.

How Providhy Solves This

At Providhy, security is not an add-on — it’s built into the very core of our system. Every layer, every update, and every backup is designed with one goal in mind: keeping your business data safe, private, and accessible only to you.

1. Automatic Security Updates

Providhy's cloud infrastructure undergoes routine, automated updates to incorporate the latest security enhancements. This proactive maintenance ensures that the platform is consistently safeguarded against newly discovered vulnerabilities, eliminating the lag time associated with manual patching on traditional systems.

1. Enterprise-Grade Encryption

All data within Providhy is encrypted in accordance with internationally recognized standards. Data at rest is safeguarded using AES-256 encryption, while data in transit is protected through SSL/TLS 1.3 protocols. This dual-layered encryption framework ensures that, even in the unlikely event of interception, the information remains unintelligible and inaccessible to any unauthorized parties.

1. Advanced Firewall Protection

Providhy employs multi-tiered firewall protections coupled with intelligent threat detection algorithms. Real-time monitoring identifies and neutralizes suspicious activities long before they can escalate into active threats.

1. Data Isolation

Unlike conventional systems where data environments may overlap, Providhy enforces strict logical data isolation. Each client’s data is maintained within separate, secured environments, thereby eliminating any possibility of unauthorized cross-access, even among different users of the Providhy platform.

1. Compliance-Ready Infrastructure

Providhy’s security architecture is aligned with globally accepted standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ISO/IEC 27001 best practices. To further support regulatory compliance and internal governance, the system implements detailed audit trails and granular access controls, enabling organizations to meet audit requirements with transparency and confidence.

Final Thoughts: Secure Growth with Providhy

In a world where cyber threats evolve daily, relying solely on on-premise ERP systems can leave businesses exposed. Recent studies show that cloud-based ERPs reduce security incidents by up to 30% compared to traditional setups.

Providhy’s platform goes beyond standard ERP by integrating advanced security protocols, regular compliance updates, and robust data isolation, ensuring your sensitive information stays protected.
