Cloud provider security responsibilities: The specific duties and tasks that a cloud service provider must undertake to ensure the security of the data and applications they host. These responsibilities can range from physical security measures, such as controlling access to data centers, to digital security practices, like encryption, intrusion detection systems, and frequent security audits. The exact responsibilities can vary depending on the cloud service model, with more duties falling on the provider in infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and less in software as a Service (SaaS).
