It was about decision maker's personal (career) risk when making decisions. Keeping things in-house means more decisions are taken in-house which increases personal risk to the management for getting things wrong. In context this is much clearer:

> This isn't simply about having fewer staff (although that can reduce internal politics and inefficiencies), but making fewer decisions and more importantly reducing the potential for making the wrong decisions (which can be career-costly, regardless of right decisions made previously).

The post above doesn't discuss cloud Vs. non-cloud security/safety at all.
