Concerns over cloud concentration risk grow

Control over critical digital infrastructure is increasingly in the hands of a small number of major providers. While a public cloud provides a flexible, stable and distributed IT environment, there are growing concerns around its use.

These concerns center on resiliency, an area almost all public cloud providers can fairly claim to excel.
