  2. Implement a multi-cloud strategy to mitigate the risk posed by a single cloud service provider.
  3. Ensure a well-defined and agreed-upon cloud service level agreement (SLA) regarding incident response.
  4. Prioritize investments in advanced cloud security technologies, such as cloud-based IDS.
