A financial services company is adopting a Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution to develop and host a new customer-facing application. As part of their compliance audit, they must document the division of security duties. Which statement accurately describes the responsibilities of the company and the cloud provider under the shared responsibility model?
The customer relinquishes responsibility for threat detection once the data is uploaded, and the provider configures user-based encryption
The provider monitors employee activities within the application, and the customer oversees hardware repairs for vendor equipment
The customer patches the hypervisor in the provider's platform, while the provider creates all account policies for users
The provider manages the server infrastructure and the operating system, and the customer sets up data permissions and user logins
Providers commonly secure the underlying foundation, such as the infrastructure and the operating system, while customers set up identities, manage data, and configure access controls. Incorrect scenarios shift responsibilities in ways that do not align with how most providers and customers divide tasks.
