That's the whole point of SaaS isn't it? We pay you to manage this, you manage it appropriately taking advantage of economies of scale, we sue the shit outta you if it goes wrong.

- arghwhat 2y agoAnd to add to that: suing someone for damages does not undo any damage. Your identity is still stolen, your private photos leaked, your company destroyed, etc.

- ta1243 2y agoThe whole point of saas is someone the CTO can blame when things go wrong. Doesn't matter if the downtime is higher, doesn't matter if there are more succesful attacks. If a CTO goes in-house, they carry the risk. If they outsource it to a vendor, especially one with a Gartner report, they can play golf and not risk their bonus.
