Cybersecurity – Shared Responsibility

The cybersecurity shared responsibility model plays a great role in mitigating the various aspects of the cloud environment.

For example, in a shared security model with GCP, Google will be responsible for ensuring that their firewalls remain impenetrable, and you, as a google cloud user, will be responsible for ensuring that you have implemented MFA, used a strong password, and don’t access your business environment that’s hosted on GCP from open public networks. Google is responsible for guarding the cloud service, while you are responsible for guarding your own account in the cloud service.

Moreover, cybersecurity is a responsibility we all share, and each person plays a role in protecting themselves and others. Just one infected computer can spread malware to countless others. To enhance your safety online, you’ve got to follow some basic cybersecurity measures.

Best practices to ensure your online safety

Avoid opening suspicious-looking emails or attachments.
Create strong passwords and avoid sharing them with anyone.
Keep your operating system, browser, and critical software updated by installing updates regularly.
Be cautious about sharing personal information online, and use privacy settings to control the information you share.
