Shared responsibility model

Security and Compliance is a shared responsibility between AWS and the customer. This shared model can help relieve the customer’s operational burden as AWS operates, manages and controls the components from the host operating system and virtualization layer down to the physical security of the facilities in which the service operates. Customers are still responsible for other aspects of security, such as the security measures used to protect your applications - which is no different than if your application was running in a traditional data center.
