When moving applications to the public cloud, security remains the primary concern. Who is responsible when there is a data leak or when the application is affected?
This is why cloud providers use a liability model shared. This means that the customer is responsible for the security IN the cloud, while the cloud provider is responsible for the security OF the cloud.
