• How was security allocated before cloud computing?
• What does the cloud computing provider do with a security offering (responsibilities vs. customer responsibilities? Lots of variety, depending on the service
• Why are there so many variations of security? (the entire stack needs to be secured, from infrastructure to applications to user interactions)
