Why each option
Legal liability in multiple jurisdictions is a risk in the cloud environment that is far more prevalent and complex than in a legacy on-premise environment.
Cloud environments, with their globally distributed data centers, introduce significant complexities regarding data residency, privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), and compliance requirements across various legal jurisdictions. This multi-jurisdictional legal and regulatory challenge is far more pronounced in the cloud than in a single, geographically confined legacy data center.
Loss of productivity due to DDoS attacks is a risk present in both cloud and legacy environments, not unique to the cloud.
The ability of users to gain access to their physical workplace is a physical security risk relevant to legacy environments, largely diminished for customers in the cloud where physical infrastructure is managed by the provider.
Fire is a physical risk that exists in both legacy data centers and cloud provider data centers, and is not a risk unique to the cloud environment.
