I am not sure we want to single out the cloud. Maybe, expand the list a bit, e.g. the "internet and cloud". After all we are no worse than other software stacks. Maybe we have a better track record than most.

I completely agree but I still want to highlight that the cloud is not bullet proof. Many people just stare at you blankly when it comes to discussing cloud security and why it's needed (in my experience). It raises the bar. It doesn't solve all your problems and can even introduce new ones.

Again, maybe not single out hypervisors

As I said, I kind of want to make people aware that hypervisors have problems too. Maybe "plaguing" is a harsh description though ;)

I think in that case, why don't you be more general at first and zoom in on your point. I do agree that "plaguing" is harsh

Otherwise looking forward to the next version
