If you believe you can match the capabilities and rigor of Google’s Security Operations team, I wish you well. My previous employer was a mid-size life insurance company. That place didn't use any third party services mainly because it complicated all audits & compliance since data would remain on 3rd party server. I'm sure everyone trusts Google with security. The problem isn't with Google or Amazon or Heroku. The problem is with all these other cloud service providers that aren't Google, Amazon and Heroku, which are more likely to be featured on front-page news because of some rookie mistake which lead to a security breach. The author's view of this issue is for some reason limited to a few big boys in the industry.
