This reference architecture summary presents the key components needed to secure any application or process in a cloud service provider's environment. Cloud service usage requires a clear understanding of security services, components, and options. This knowledge is paired with a clear architecture which covers development, deployment, and operations, as depicted in the following diagram:
Figure 1 is a high-level architecture for the roles and components needed in the security architecture for cloud service solutions. The solution is divided into three domains based on the applicable network. These networks are normally separately secured: public network, cloud provider network, and the enterprise network.
The public network (typically the internet) includes the parties that interact...
