I still find it amazing that:
- Businesses pay the cloud providers to allow them to use compute/disk/network
- Businesses pay to hire the engineers who can work on cloud
- Businesses pay to hire security engineers who can secure the applications in cloud
- Businesses pay to hire FinOps to optimize their cloud usage
- Businesses hire security companies to secure their cloud usage (e.g. Wiz was one such company)
- Now cloud provider has to acquire the security company to secure their own cloud?
Either I am too old, or there is something wrong here. Let's not forget that at the same time many big businesses do just fine by not using AWS/GCP/Azure.
- happyopossum 2y ago> - Now cloud provider has to acquire the security company to secure their own cloud? No - this acquisition is about selling Wiz to cloud customers. Deploying on cloud securely is a solved problem if you set and follow good policies. Virtually nobody is doing this, ergo companies like Wiz that will tell you when you're doing something stupid.
- leftcenterright 2y ago> if you set and follow good policies Is it really that hard? like I listed out, it is definitely not cheap. There isn't a shortage of skilled engineers in IT after massive layoffs. What's the catch then?
