In this episode, Andy and Adam discuss the importance of VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) in security and enterprise architecture. They highlight the security benefits of VDI, such as separating end user environments from the underlying physical hardware, centralized management of baseline images and patches, and the ability to keep sensitive data in the data center. They also explore the shared responsibility model in cloud computing, where the cloud provider is responsible for the security of the infrastructure, but the end users are responsible for protecting their data and assets stored in the cloud.

Takeaways

-The shared responsibility model in cloud computing means that while the cloud provider is responsible for the security of the infrastructure, the end users are responsible for protecting their data and assets stored in the cloud.

-Understanding the shared responsibility model is crucial for security practitioners to ensure they are defending their organization's data effectively.

-Minimizing the use of IaaS and on-premises models in favor of PaaS and SaaS models can reduce the organization's security responsibilities and provide better security.

-It's important to know what you're responsible for in terms of data protection and security when using cloud services.
