AWS shared responsibility model

The shared responsibility model is a fundamental principle that underpins the security architecture and operation of AWS services. It delineates the security responsibilities between AWS and the customer, ensuring that both parties understand their respective roles in maintaining a secure environment.

Security “of” the cloud

AWS is responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in the AWS cloud. This includes fundamental infrastructure components, such as the hardware, software, networking, and facilities that house AWS cloud services. AWS’s responsibility of the cloud includes a wide range of security measures, such as physical security of data centers, server infrastructure, and network and virtualization security. These are tasks that AWS is uniquely positioned to perform, given its scale and expertise.
