Hi there. In this lecture, we’re going to talk about the shared responsibility model. This is important to understand because, if you are an organization considering a move to the cloud, you need to understand which security tasks the cloud provider is responsible for handling and which tasks are handled by you. These responsibilities will vary depending on the workload. For example, the responsibilities for SaaS workloads will differ from IaaS workloads, which will differ from PaaS workloads, which will differ from on-prem responsibilities.
When you host your workloads in an on-prem datacenter, you own everything. However, as you move to the cloud, some of your security responsibilities are handed over to Microsoft.
The graphic on your screen details the general areas of responsibility for you and for Microsoft, based on where the workloads are hosted.
As you can see, whether your workloads run on-prem or in the cloud, you always own your data and identities, so you are responsible for the security of them. You are also responsible for your on-prem resources, along with any cloud components you control. Whether your workloads are hosted in the cloud or on-prem, you always retain the responsibility for your data, your endpoints, your accounts, and access management.
