Cloud roles and responsibilities: The definition of the tasks, duties, and responsibilities of different stakeholders in a cloud environment. It's critical for delineating the obligations of cloud service providers and customers in managing and securing cloud resources, data, and services. A clear definition of roles and responsibilities helps ensure accountability, promotes transparency and improves overall security and efficiency in cloud operations.

Cloud Security Alliance's Cloud Controls Matrix (CSA CCM): A comprehensive and structured framework established by the Cloud Security Alliance to help organizations identify and assess the security risks associated with cloud environments. It provides a detailed list of security controls categorized into different domains, serving as a guide for organizations to design, implement, and evaluate their cloud security strategies.

Cloud Security Alliance's IoT Security Control Framework: A comprehensive set of practices and controls designed to secure Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their associated data. The framework addresses the unique security challenges posed by IoT, providing guidance on device identity, secure communication, data protection, and regular updates. It aids organizations in mitigating the risks associated with the increasing connectivity and complexity of IoT ecosystems.

Cloud Security Frameworks: A set of policies, guidelines, and procedures designed to manage the risks and security posture of cloud computing environments. These frameworks guide organizations in securing data, applications, and infrastructure in the cloud.

Cloud Service Models: They encompass the different layers of cloud computing that offer varying degrees of control from infrastructure to applications. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtualized computing resources over the Internet, such as servers and storage. Platform as a Service (PaaS) supplies a cloud-based environment for developers to create, manage, and deploy applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the underlying infrastructure. Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers fully managed applications to users on a subscription basis, eliminating the need for installations and running software on individual computers. Each model shifts more operational responsibility from the consumer to the cloud provider.

Cloud Service Models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS): The three main categories of cloud computing services that define the type of service provided. SaaS (Software as a Service) delivers software applications over the Internet, PaaS (Platform as a Service) offers a cloud platform and environment to develop and deploy applications, and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) provides virtualized computing resources over the Internet.
