Understanding cloud security # In this article, we observe security responsibility of cloud providers: where it ends, what are the gaps and grey areas, and what risks security teams should take into account when using “as a service” platforms. So, you’re planning your new business in an area where security matters, and you start thinking about choosing your cloud provider to build your application on. Typically, you start juggling with a combination of all the nice building blocks you need and financial aspects you’re facing.
