Shared Responsibility
Cloud adoption by organizations require an understanding of how Security is a shared responsibility between the Customer and Service Provider.
Cloud Security Shared Responsibility Model
Snapdocs would like to address the misconception that organizations sometimes have when adopting cloud based services, in this case the Snapdocs’ suit of products and services. The misunderstanding arises when cloud customers believe that they are either more secure in the cloud, because their cloud provider is securing them or that they are completely insecure, because it is impossible to secure the cloud’s large attack surface.
