Why native cloud security falls short

The article argues that relying solely on cloud service providers’ native security (WAF, encryption/KMS) creates vendor lock-in and shared downtime risks, and recommends decoupling security from infrastructure with third-party, multi-cloud-capable solutions (e.g., WAPPLES, Cloudbric WAF+, D.AMO). It contends that independent key management strengthens compliance and resilience—especially for regulated sectors—and frames core security controls as strategic investments rather than cost-cutting measures.
