Deep dives

Understanding the Shared Responsibility Model

The shared responsibility model in cloud security defines the roles of both the cloud provider and their customers. The provider is responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure, while customers must secure their data and applications in the cloud. This distinction is critical, as many organizations fail to recognize that security threats can originate from their own configurations and credential management practices. Ensuring customers are aware of their responsibilities is essential for maintaining a secure environment in the complex landscape of cloud technology.
