It can be seen that more and more companies are turning to cloud security providers for help. But, the real question is not about depending on others rather it is how one manages that dependence.
Cloud platforms provide great security features by default. However, they operate under a shared responsibility model. This implies that while providers take care of infrastructure, businesses remain responsible for their data, access, and configurations. In fact, excessive dependence without adequate internal controls can result in risks, to be specific, misconfigurations, lack of visibility, and identity-related threats.
Therefore, progressive companies are leading the way by transitioning from complete reliance to strategic partnerships - leveraging provider capabilities alongside expert guidance and governance.
