What type of controls applies to both infrastructure and customer layers in cloud computing?

Shared controls are designed to provide security measures that apply across both the cloud provider's infrastructure and the customer’s environment. In the context of cloud computing, these controls involve responsibilities that are jointly managed by the cloud service provider and the client. For instance, physical security measures may be implemented by the provider, while the customer is responsible for securing their applications running in the cloud.

In shared responsibility models, it is essential for both parties to understand their specific obligations to ensure a secure cloud environment. The effectiveness of shared controls hinges on collaboration and proper delineation of responsibilities, ensuring that security measures are comprehensive and cover all layers of the computing environment, from the infrastructure provided by the cloud vendor to the applications and data managed by the customer.
