Shared-Responsibility

Cloud Security in a Shared Responsibility Model Cloud security works best when duties are clearly shared. In cloud computing, the provider protects the underlying infrastructure—physical data centers, network hardware, and the core platform. You protect what you bring: your data, applications, and how users access them. The exact split depends on the service model you choose, from IaaS to SaaS. Understanding who is responsible helps you avoid gaps and misconfigurations. ...

Cloud Security Posture Management and Shared Responsibility Cloud security posture management (CSPM) helps teams identify misconfigurations, insecure defaults, and drift across cloud resources. It scans assets, checks against best practices, and presents findings in a single view. The goal is to prevent breaches and speed up response when issues appear. In the shared responsibility model, cloud providers secure the underlying infrastructure, but customers own everything in the cloud: data, identities, access control, network design, and workload configuration. Knowing where responsibilities lie helps teams avoid gaps and focus effort where it matters most. ...

Cloud Security in a Shared Responsibility World Cloud security is a shared job. In most cloud setups, the provider protects the infrastructure, while you protect what you put in the cloud. This split, the shared responsibility model, helps teams move fast without ignoring safety. Knowing who does what reduces gaps that attackers try to exploit. Providers keep the hardware, run core services, and patch the underlying software. They secure physical sites, network paths, and baseline protections. You, on the other hand, guard data, users, and configurations. You decide who can access resources, where data travels, and how it is encrypted. Your job is to manage identity, permissions, data handling, and incident response. ...
