Cloud Security
Cloud vendors secure the infrastructure; customers secure the data, configurations, and user access.
Typical split
- Provider responsibilities: Physical data centers, networking, hypervisor, core services like compute and storage.
- Customer responsibilities: Identity and access management, data protection, workload configuration, compliance with industry regulations.
Why teams stumble
- Assuming managed services are secure-by-default.
- Failing to harden default IAM roles or storage buckets.
- Overlooking logging and monitoring in shared environments.
