Shared Responsibility Model

Cloud Shared Responsibility Model

Definition

The cloud shared responsibility model defines the division of security responsibilities between cloud providers and their customers. Providers are responsible for security of the cloud (physical infrastructure, hypervisors, managed service software), while customers are responsible for security in the cloud (operating system patching, application security, IAM configuration, data encryption, network controls).

Understanding this boundary is essential for building complete cloud security programs.
