Are Cloud Security Problems the Customer's Fault?

It's been suggested that as much as 99% of Cloud security issues are due to the customer's fault. This statistic has been used by the Cloud industry to say the security failures are "not our fault".

Let's discuss:

• Is blaming Cloud security failures on the customer valid or an excuse by the Cloud industry?
• Does this mean that the Cloud is very difficult to set up securely?
• Can you find statistics showing otherwise?
• Surely customer error wouldn't be an issue with SaaS, where the Cloud SaaS provider is responsible for almost everything?
• What are the Cloud Providers doing to help customers set up the Cloud more securely?

Look into this issue and submit a main post on any or all of the questions above. Explain your research and thoughts. In your response include at least one reference from an authoritative source.

The source of the 99% statistic was a Gartner Report in 2019 that has been widely used. "Gartner predicts that, through 2025, 99 percent of cloud security failures will be the customer's fault"
