This whitepaper from Storj discusses the growing security risks associated with centralized cloud storage and presents decentralized cloud storage as a more secure alternative. Centralized storage creates a single point of failure and is vulnerable to attacks like tampering, ransomware, and insider threats. The paper highlights several significant breaches in centralized systems and explains how decentralization, coupled with zero trust principles, mitigates these risks. Decentralized storage distributes data across many nodes, uses erasure coding, and ensures end-to-end encryption, making it more resilient to attacks and enhancing data privacy and security.
