Why Neocloud Platforms Are Failing at Security Basics

Neocloud vendors are shipping immature security architectures despite clear warnings from their own customers and security researchers. Speed-to-market and feature velocity still outpace hardening in this category. These platforms marketed as modern alternatives to legacy cloud infrastructure are replicating the exact vulnerabilities—mandatory credential storage, opaque trust boundaries, weak audit trails—that traditional clouds spent years patching. Until neocloud providers face actual security liability through breach costs, customer churn, or regulatory enforcement, the incentive structure keeps them shipping insecure code.
