According to the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, cloud providers are accountable for security “OF” the cloud, while customers are responsible for security “IN” the cloud. At GCS, we specialize in facilitating comprehensive security design and assessment services for our customers, ensuring robust “Security in the Cloud.” Our team adheres to industry best practices set by Esri and native cloud vendors to enhance your cloud security posture and maintain compliance.
