Security is a partnership.
Your applications and infrastructure require a secure environment to protect your infrastructure and keep your application running strong. To achieve this, it is vital that everyone involved clearly understands the processes and the proactive and reactive measures that need to be put in place.
That's why, at Rackspace, we believe that security is a partnership —a shared responsibility between you and us. This collaboration requires input from your business and technical experts, our architects, security experts, and operations personnel. Each of us has a role to play in protecting your application's infrastructure and data.
And when we understand these roles and responsibilities, we can work together and build a relationship that's built on trust.
“It doesn't get much more important when you're an ecommerce company than running the infrastructure that runs your site. That's your product. And so you have to have somebody that you trust in order to do that. If that service goes down, our company is down, our revenue stops. And because of that, we consider Rackspace a trusted partner.”
