An organization is migrating its HR application to an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model in a private cloud. Who is PRIMARILY responsible for the security configurations of the deployed application's operating system?
In an IaaS model in a private cloud, the organization is primarily responsible for the security configurations of the deployed application's operating system. While the cloud provider manages the underlying infrastructure, including the virtualization layer and physical hardware, the organization retains responsibility for configuring and securing the components deployed on top of that infrastructure.
The organization needs to configure and manage the operating system, applications, and associated security settings within the virtual machines provided by the cloud infrastructure. This shared responsibility model is a key characteristic of cloud computing, where the organization and the cloud provider have distinct responsibilities for different layers of the infrastructure and services.
D. The organization
In an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model, the organization is primarily responsible for the security configurations of the deployed application's operating system. While the cloud provider is responsible for the security of the underlying infrastructure (such as the physical servers, networking, and data center facilities) and may provide certain security features and tools, the organization retains responsibility for securing the operating system and the applications they deploy on top of the cloud infrastructure.
This concept is often referred to as the "shared responsibility model," where the division of security responsibilities is typically outlined in the cloud service provider's terms of service or service-level agreements. The organization is responsible for configuring and maintaining the security of their virtual machines, including the operating system and application-level security settings.
