As a cybersecurity consultant guiding organizations across the globe through digital transformation, I’ve observed one recurring pattern: We place immense trust in cloud services without fully questioning the fragility of their trust foundations. While cloud computing delivers undeniable benefits like agility, scalability and cost efficiency, it also introduces a new class of security risks rooted in centralized control.
In an era where “zero trust” is the prevailing security mantra, it’s ironic that we continue to entrust our most sensitive data to a small group of centralized cloud providers.
As with any facet of digital transformation, it’s important to examine the limitations of traditional cloud trust models and how blockchain-based architectures offer a compelling alternative, one that is built on transparency, immutability and decentralization.
