## Quote — verbatim

> Fortunately we don't have any — haven't had any security event, and I want to keep it that way. I think Akash itself has a much more secure design than Amazon — being open, being hyper focused on selecting the best infrastructures, and also not automating a lot of things people expect but rather giving the flexibility to the developer to choose the security architecture they please.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Answering security concerns about decentralized infrastructure; cites remote signers for validators as an example of forced-secure trade-offs.
