AWS, Microsoft and Google secure the infrastructure, but everything inside that environment is still your responsibility.
Misconfigured access, unpatched workloads and weak identity controls are the gaps attackers look for, not flaws in the cloud platform itself.
The truth is, shared responsibility does not mean equal responsibility.
Vendors handle physical security and platform reliability.
You handle identity, configuration and data governance.
✅ Review your IAM policies regularly
✅ Encrypt data in transit and at rest
✅ Monitor workloads for drift and misconfiguration
✅ Treat cloud security as a process, not a one-off project
At AltTab, we help organisations design cloud environments that are secure by default, integrating protection across identity, network and workload layers.
Shared security only works when both sides play their part.
