In the case of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS) the responsibility to effectively manage the security of the application running in the cloud primarily belongs to who?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

In the case of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS), the responsibility to effectively manage the security of the application running in the cloud primarily belongs to the cloud consumer's administrators. This is because while the cloud service provider ensures the security of the infrastructure and platform, it is the consumer's responsibility to secure their applications, data, and configurations that are deployed on top of the cloud infrastructure. This approach is part of the shared responsibility model in cloud computing.

The cloud consumer's administrators In the case of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS), the responsibility to effectively manage the security of the application running in the cloud primarily belongs to the cloud consumer's administrators. While the cloud provider is responsible for the security of the underlying infrastructure and platform, the cloud consumer is responsible for securing the applications, data, and configurations that they deploy on top of that infrastructure or platform. This is known as the shared responsibility model in cloud computing.
