Explanation

In the case of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS), the responsibility to effectively manage the security of the application running in the cloud primarily belongs to the cloud consumer's administrators. While the cloud provider is responsible for the security of the underlying infrastructure and platform, the cloud consumer is responsible for securing the applications, data, and configurations that they deploy on top of that infrastructure or platform. This is known as the shared responsibility model in cloud computing.
