One more point of contention...
Your article mentions Sony twice...once as an example of a target of miscreant
attack on its in-house server, the other as an example of using the "public cloud"
to thwart an attack. Are you saying that had Sony used some cloud for data
storage, the attacks could have been sidestepped? Just throwing out a statement
such as "In many instances and selective use cases such as malware, anti-virus and distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection, public cloud security have proven to be more effective and scalable compared to in-house security solutions " without ANY
facts to back your postition is not acceptable.
People once thought the world was flat, and a sailing ship would fall off the edge if
it ventured too far. It was also widespread belief that the Earth was the center of the
Universe, so much so that anyone that dared to question this were labeled "heretics".
However, when confronted with "fact", those who held these beliefs were gradually
converted.
In my opinion, the world is not flat...and the "cloud" is not inherently "more secure"
than in-house data storage!
