The aftermath to the recent Microsoft Azure hack by suspected PRC actors.
What is the solution to this? Make sure cloud services are open source so they can be independently vetted? If government and corporate entities chose to use open source solutions, most are presented “as is” with no warranty.
What a surprise!!! It’s as if Microsoft doesn’t have some sort of breach and doesn’t offer the least secure operating system known to man. I still do not understand why so many corporations and government entities rely on Microsoft products and services
Vendor lock-in. Accessibility to many tools for “non-technical” users. Groupthink. Bundles and anti-interoperability (see vendor lock-in). Fright of open source. Non-technical executives who trust the wrong people. That’s just off the top of my head.
Money and the fact that C-suite still has no f*%! clue about technology. They can tweet now. yay.
