The Double-Edged Sword of Public Cloud Security
In many ways, the public cloud is more secure than a traditional data center. Asset management, inventory, audit logging, two-factor access controls, connectivity redundancy, and firewalls are built into the cloud provider platform.

So, if the cloud is more secure, why is it still getting hacked?
