Are Cloud Providers Responsible for All Aspects of Data Security?

May 9, 2024

What Is a Cloud Provider

Cloud providers are third-party companies that offer a cloud-based platform, infrastructure, application, or storage services. Their responsibilities typically cover the following:  

  • Certifications and standards 
  • Technologies and service roadmap  
  • Data security, data governance, and business policies 
  • Service dependencies and partnerships 
  • Contracts, commercials, and SLAs (Service Level Agreements)  
  • Reliability and performance  
  • Migration support, vendor lock-in, and exit planning 
  • Business health and company profile 

Cloud Providers and castles have many similarities. They both host and have a standard protection system, like keys and locks, doors, a moat, etc. The responsibility falls on the users and the royal family that is using them. Like any attacker on a castle, talented hackers can get into the infrastructure at any time. The entire system is ruined if they don’t protect what’s inside.
