The cloud shared responsibility model
WHAT IT TESTS: the security boundary in PaaS. OUTLINE: the provider secures the cloud (hardware, OS, runtime), you secure what runs in it (code, data, config, access). RED FLAG: assuming the provider secures your code, data, or IAM.
WHAT IT TESTS: where provider responsibility ends and yours begins, especially under PaaS. ANSWER OUTLINE: the provider runs and secures the underlying stack, hardware, networking, host OS, and managed runtime patching, while you stay responsible for your code, your data, access controls and IAM, and service configuration. The boundary shifts: PaaS offloads more than IaaS but never your code, data, or identity. RED FLAG: assuming security is fully outsourced, so misconfiguration or leaked credentials become the provider's fault.
