<div dir="ltr"><div>I would believe this is a very broad issue to discuss. I would believe this may not be the solution to cyber security, I would think that localized servers have a better chance of being monitored compared to remote cloud computers. Unless this move means there is no need to invest in that facility and have it outsourced.
