I did a bunch of security contract work for NASA and have worked in security capacities for other government and financial institutions. Honestly I think a lot of the migration to cloud providers is a form of mutiny against the ever increasing cost of running highly regulated workloads in your own data center. It’s nearly impossible to do anything in a reasonable amount of time when you’ve got layer upon layer of regulatory and internal audit oversight. It’s not just basic processes but governance around those processes and governance around the governance of those processes. It’s a nightmare.
