With today’s world of constant digitization, enterprises are continuously shifting their workload to the IaaS platform from the legacy infrastructure because of its speed and flexibility. Gartner expects IaaS to grow by nearly 13.4% to $50.4 billion by the start of 2021.

However, as it is a cloud-driven concept, one cannot deny the presence of issues and security risks. The catch here is that just a single feature cannot provide complete security for the IaaS environment. It is so because the IaaS platform’s protection is a kind of shared responsibility, where customer security responsibilities involve ensuring cloud infrastructure is architected, deployed, and operated safely. The responsibilities also include maintaining the cloud security in aspects of firewalls, operating systems, data, platforms, etc. Whereas the providers have to secure the cloud in aspects like storage, global infrastructure, database, compute, etc.
