Agreed!
I agree! Although the cloud and the like are still in need of maturing, I agree that there is this false sense of security business owners have when it comes to security and how much better it is because their servers are in their own data center or maintained by their own employees. With so much of enterprise technology connecting to the external world, it really just comes down to the people they have securing their environments. It doesn't matter if it's in a building they own or ran by people they directly employ. It's a risk/consequence decision. If your own network admin screws up a firewall configuration and leaves a vulnerable network port open, do you think he is less likely to do so because he's an employee of the company? What if he doesn't like working for that company? As IT matures into a stand-alone services industry, service providers will figure out security, dedicated service and every other hurdle that blocks it. The business economics just make too much sense...
