31. Security is Job Zero
YOU ARE BETTER OFF IN AWS THAN YOU ARE IN YOUR
OWN ENVIRONMENT
• “Based on our experience, I believe that we can be even more
secure in the AWS cloud than in our own data centers.”
-­Tom Soderstrom, CTO, NASA JPL
• “Nearly 60% of organizations agreed that CSPs [cloud service
providers] provide better security than their own IT organizations.”
