Both the IoT critical Infrastructures and Cloud are subject to cyber attacks. Cloud environments experience--at a high level--the same threats as traditional data center environments; the threat picture is the same. That is, cloud computing runs software, software has vulnerabilities, and adversaries try to exploit those vulnerabilities. However, unlike information technology systems in a traditional data center, in cloud computing, responsibility for mitigating the risks that result from these software vulnerabilities is shared between the CSP and the cloud consumer.

The vast diffusion of connected devices in the IoT has created enormous demand for robust security in response to the growing demand of millions or perhaps billions of connected devices and services worldwide. The number of threats is rising daily, and attacks have been on the increase in both number and complexity. Not only is the number of potential attackers along with the size of networks growing, but the tools available to potential attackers are also becoming more sophisticated, efficient and effective.

Always a good question. Shared responsibility for defending a platform is always a weakness which gets exploited. We teach how to IdentIfy critical infrastructure - when it in the cloud it relies on the provider who is more sales driven and not prone to revealing security problems. I had a web platform that was insecure ( for a hacked client) so nothing I could do would prevent the platform from becoming hostile- shared security is the next biggest problem.
