Shared Responsibility

Shared Responsibility is a cloud computing model in which the cloud provider and the customer share responsibility for the security and management of data and applications in the cloud. Customers are responsible for securing their own applications and data, while cloud providers are responsible for securing the infrastructure that supports the cloud services.

Shared Responsibility Matrix

The Shared Responsibility Matrix is a framework that defines the specific responsibilities of cloud providers and customers for each cloud service. The matrix is divided into three sections:

1. Infrastructure: The cloud provider is responsible for securing the infrastructure that supports the cloud services, including the physical servers, network, and storage.

3. Application: The customer is responsible for securing the applications that run in the cloud, including the code, data, and configuration.
