Which of the following best describes the responsibility for security in a cloud environment?

  1. Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) are solely responsible for security in the cloud environment. The Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are accountable.
  2. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) share security responsibilities.
    The exact allocation of responsibilities depends on the technology and context.
  3. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are solely responsible for security in the cloud environment. Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) have an advisory role.
  4. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) share security responsibilities.
    The allocation of responsibilities is constant.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The shared security responsibility model in cloud environments clarifies that CSPs and CSCs both have roles, with specific responsibilities varying based on the service model (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS). In IaaS, CSCs handle more security, while CSPs manage most security in SaaS.
