Cloud security fundamentals
Before we continue on our trip into offensive security techniques using Python in cloud environments, it’s critical that we have a firm grasp of fundamental concepts controlling cloud security. This section will act as your guide, establishing a framework for understanding the complex web of security procedures and responsibilities that come with cloud deployments.
Shared Responsibility Model
The Shared Responsibility Model is a crucial concept in cloud computing that defines the division of responsibilities between a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) and its customers in terms of securing the cloud environment. It delineates who is responsible for securing what components of the cloud infrastructure.
Understanding the division of responsibilities is essential in cloud computing. Here’s a breakdown of the Shared Responsibility Model:
- CSP responsibilities: The CSP is responsible for securing the underlying cloud infrastructure, including...
