Security & The Shared Responsibility Model
Page 1 of 1
The Shared Responsibility Model
Moving to the public cloud does not mean you can forget about security. It just changes who is responsible for what.
- The Provider's Responsibility: Security OF the Cloud. They protect the physical data centers, the hardware, the host operating system, and the virtualization layer. They ensure the building doesn't burn down and the servers have power.
- The Customer's Responsibility: Security IN the Cloud. You are responsible for your data, your user accounts (IAM), your firewall configurations, and patching your guest operating systems.
Note: In a Private Cloud, YOU are responsible for EVERYTHING (both "OF" and "IN" the cloud).
