Description

A fascinating aspect of the cloud era is the expanding options for organizations to move from being owners to renters of IT capabilities. From a security perspective, decreasing ownership also transfers blocks of responsibility from cloud customers to the cloud services provider. This, in essence, is the shifting attribute of the cloud shared responsibility model.

While transferring generic responsibilities to the cloud provider and accelerating application cycles appear highly appealing, are there potential security thorns amongst those roses? Yes there are, as we explain in this insight. Nevertheless, if the thorns are managed with care, the beauty of the rose can still shine through.
