Episode 3 — Understand shared responsibility clearly across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS realities

This episode explains shared responsibility in a way that supports exam questions and real incident accountability. You’ll define what the provider secures versus what you must secure, then apply that model across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS where the boundaries shift in meaningful ways. We’ll use practical scenarios, such as misconfigured storage exposure or identity misuse, to show how defenders can be “responsible” even when they do not “control” the underlying platform. You’ll also learn how misunderstanding responsibility leads to weak controls, missing logs, and failed audit evidence, especially when teams assume a service is secure “by default.” The outcome is a clear mental map you can apply to architecture decisions, control ownership, and exam item reasoning.
