Organizations of all types send and receive swaths of data on a daily basis, but not all of the data is discarded immediately. Far from it.

Picture this: you’ve just purchased a state-of-the-art, impenetrable safe to store your most valuable possessions. You’re confident in the security of this safe, but there’s one catch – the lock and key are shared between you and the manufacturer. In this scenario, how secure is your safe? This analogy represents the unique challenge presented by the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, where cloud security is distributed between Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its users. But what exactly does this mean for you and your data? As a customer of AWS, understanding your role in this model is crucial, as it can be a determining factor in how effectively your organization optimizes its cloud security. In this blog post, we will unravel the mysteries of the AWS Shared Responsibility Model and provide the vital information you need to safeguard your valuable digital possessions on the cloud.

Recovery time objective (RTO) is defined as the maximum amount of time an organization has to recover from a disaster event or downtime before it causes a break in business continuity that has significant repercussions for the organization and its end users.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, IT teams are constantly under pressure to lower their RTO to protect the organization and its users in the event of a disruption.
