As businesses increasingly adopt cloud technologies, understanding the shared responsibility model of cloud security becomes essential. Major cloud vendors like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud define clear boundaries where their security responsibilities end and where customer responsibilities begin.
Malleum’s Cloud Security Assessments help you navigate these models by identifying and evaluating the security controls within your purview, ensuring that your configurations, user access controls, and data management practices meet the highest security standards. Our comprehensive assessments not only address vulnerabilities and compliance gaps but also guide you in fulfilling your part of the security responsibility, crucial for safeguarding sensitive data stored in the cloud.
The implications of these responsibility models are significant, as they dictate that while the cloud provider secures the infrastructure, customers must protect their data, applications, and identity management systems. This often includes securing client-side data encryption, ensuring secure software configurations, managing robust access controls, and maintaining comprehensive monitoring to detect and respond to security incidents.
Our service evaluates your adherence to these responsibilities, enhances your security postures, such as encryption practices and access policies, and aligns them with industry best practices and regulatory standards.
