EMA CyberSecurity Awesomeness Podcast

Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast – Episode 113: On Premise vs. Cloud vs. SaaS

06/20/2025

Category: Podcast

Enterprises are reconsidering the environments that best support their business, compliance, and resiliency needs. Some are even shifting workloads back to on-prem, driven by cost, security, and regulatory demands.

In this edition of the Cybersecurity Awesomeness podcast, EMA cybersecurity experts Chris Steffen and Ken Buckler dive into:

– Why cloud security isn’t as easy as many think
– The surprising rise in on-prem interest (even showing up in search trends!)
– When SaaS makes more sense than custom infrastructure
– The hard truths about security responsibility and cost trade-offs
