Harness the Shared Responsibility Model to Boost Security

When organizations decide to move their applications’ workloads to public cloud providers, they need to understand that there are responsibilities shared with the providers. Organizations will need to think about areas including: Software or application updates and patches Security concerns (including security software) Networking (including policies and firewalls) Resource access

To protect your applications and important information, all relevant members of your organization must know who is responsible for what according to the shared responsibility model.

However, depending on the type of infrastructure they use (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS or serverless), they now share responsibility for certain aspects of security with their cloud providers. This shared responsibility model helps guarantee that your cloud infrastructure is fully secured.
