That inspired me to draft a Cloud Security Serenity Prayer as part of our preparation for our upcoming BrightTALK, Cloud Serenity: Controlling What We Can and Accepting What We Cannot.
The Cloud Security Serenity Prayer
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
transparency to the things I cannot control;
relevant controls for the things I can;
and the wisdom (and influence) to deploy workloads appropriately.
Feel free to recite it to the deity/deities of your selection...
