What Is the Shared Responsibility of Cloud Security?

In the cloud, security is a partnership. While major providers like Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud secure the core infrastructure, you are responsible for everything inside it — your virtual servers, applications, access policies, and data. According to Gartner, through 2026 at least 95% of cloud security failures will be the customer’s fault — primarily due to misconfiguration and human error.

For Phoenix SMBs, this creates a critical gap. Your IT team is already managing daily operations. Do they also have the specialized tools and 24/7 availability to monitor cloud threats, manage misconfigurations, and respond to incidents in real time? For most, the answer is no. Coeus Consulting bridges that gap — acting as your dedicated cloud security team with the expertise and infrastructure to manage, monitor, and secure your entire cloud footprint.
