Is cloud security inherently weaker than on-premises? It is one of the most persistent myths in the industry — and it stops teams from adopting the controls that would actually make them safer.
The reality is that leading cloud providers invest more in physical and platform security than almost any single organisation could. The risk rarely lives in the platform; it lives in configuration. Publicly exposed storage, over-permissive identities and unmonitored workloads cause the majority of cloud incidents — and every one of them is preventable.
The shared-responsibility model
Security in the cloud is a partnership. The provider secures the infrastructure; you secure what you put on it — identities, data, configuration and access. Understanding exactly where that line sits is the single most important step to a secure cloud posture.
With unified visibility, strong baselines and continuous monitoring, cloud environments are not just as secure as on-prem — they are often more secure. Converge360™ brings cloud, on-prem and identity into one Security Graph so misconfiguration and drift surface the moment they happen.
