On-prem data centers, public cloud regions, edge: Agency cloud environments have grown highly complex. And that has significant implications for cybersecurity.
Each cloud provider defines its security model differently, and it’s up to your organization to understand the differences. While the cloud provider takes responsibility for securing elements of the infrastructure it abstracts away from you, every other aspect of the cloud is your responsibility. If there’s a configuration knob to adjust, you need to adjust it. And the security knobs—for services such as identity management and access management—are totally different for each cloud provider.
