The cloud is not secure. Developers know through experience that software and servers get hacked thanks to bad code and insecure Internet connections to remote servers and data centers. You can compare using the cloud to having valuables that are locked up in a suitcase in a parking lot. By nature, both are susceptible to attacks. In this article, we explain the reasons why the cloud is not secure, but we also examine ways to mitigate any insecurities by illustrating some Django examples through the inception of BugHeist.
