There's an argument to be made here for using hosted cloud providers instead of rolling your own servers, keeping your data off premise and relying on their security practices. The problem with managing your own servers and services is that you're constantly playing the security game, and responsible for keeping your systems secure and up to date. People hate on providers like Google, but the reality is they have _thousands_ of top tier engineers and security experts managing and monitoring their cloud services. Using their managed database and VM services are far more likely to provide better security than your in house IT team. When was the last time you heard of a Google Cloud customer falling victim to a ransomware attack? (I'm using Google as an example, can say the same for Microsoft, Amazon etc)
