The burden of cloud security is split.
Service providers protect the infrastructure and underlying compute power from malicious actors, but the enterprise retains responsibility for configuring the security of workloads and operations.
Google Cloud acknowledged this split when it entered the cyber insurance market earlier this month. The partnership with Allianz Global Corporate and Specialty and Munich Re, forming Google’s Risk Protection Program, is intended to reduce cloud risk with a diagnostic tool to assess risk and streamline the insurance underwriting process.
