Description

Evolution of the Shared Responsibility Model to Shared Fate


This IDC Perspective examines the evolution of the shared responsibility model (SRM) to shared fate. In what IDC now considers the third wave of the SRM, referred to as shared fate or shared destiny, this evolved SRM implies that cloud service providers (SPs) will not only continue to secure their part of the SRM but also increase aid for organizations to do their part.IDC's Shared Infrastructure Model brings us to the beginning of the SRM evolution. Vendor examples of embedded security for shared fate and the nondigital-native and digital-native buyer personas preferences are explored. Advice for the technology buyer includes a discussion on SRM influencers, cloud SRM best practices, cyberinsurance and SRM, and generative AI and SRM."There should be a holistic approach to the shared responsibility model — There is no one size fits all. For example, a cloud migration best practice must take into consideration the user, the cloud service provider, and marketplace vendors. Following this path will reduce complexity when it comes time to architecting security as it may negate the need to create multiple security architectures," said Philip Bues, research manager, IDC Cloud Security. "The third wave of the SRM and its evolution to shared fate is not just theoretical. There are a number of very real examples that can be cited. Users in the third wave realize the unique value contributed by the cloud service provider."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
