3. Cloud Shared Responsibility Explained

Thinking about moving to the cloud? Before you make the leap, you need to understand one of the most fundamental concepts in cloud security: the Shared Responsibility Model. It's not just a technical term—it's the critical framework that defines who's in charge of what, and misunderstanding it can leave you and your data vulnerable. 😱

In this episode, we'll peel back the layers of this essential model, comparing it to the total control you have in a traditional on-premises data center. We'll explain how cloud providers are responsible for the security of the cloud, managing the physical infrastructure and underlying hardware, while you, the consumer, are responsible for the security in the cloud, including your data and access policies.

But it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. We'll break down the three major cloud service models—IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS—and show how your security duties shift with each one. From the high level of control (and responsibility) in IaaS to the "hands-off" approach of SaaS, you'll learn exactly what you're accountable for. Tune in to ensure you're not leaving any security gaps and that your cloud journey is as secure as possible.
