A financial firm is migrating some of its services to a third-party cloud platform. When reviewing the terms of the migration, it must be clear who is responsible for the protection of physical servers and network infrastructure. According to the typical shared responsibility model for cloud security, who is accountable for this aspect?
The application developers of the firm
The financial firm's internal IT department
The cloud service provider
The third-party auditors conducting regular security reviews
Under the shared responsibility model for cloud security, the responsibility for the protection of the physical hardware and the foundational network infrastructure, including the data centers, rests with the cloud service provider, regardless of whether the firm uses infrastructure, platform, or software-based service offerings. Users of the service are responsible for securing the data, applications, and access control elements that they configure and manage on top of the provided infrastructure.
