When an organization opts for public cloud services, it relinquishes direct control over many aspects of security and privacy. While the cloud service provider maintains the physical servers, the organization loses the ability to physically access these servers. This is a significant shift from traditional on-premises data centers where the organization would have complete control over and access to the physical infrastructure. In the context of the public cloud, the organization must rely on the cloud provider's security measures and protocols to protect its data.However, it's important to note that while physical access is lost, cloud providers typically offer robust security features and compliance certifications that can compensate for this loss12.
