In the last section, we looked at how Hivenet protects your privacy and security.
Now let’s answer the next logical question:
“So what do I need to do?”
That’s where the shared responsibility model comes in. It’s a way of explaining who’s responsible for what when it comes to keeping your data safe.
This model isn’t new—cloud giants like AWS helped popularize it. But we think it’s even more important in a distributed system like Hivenet, where storage isn’t sitting in one place.
So what’s the idea?
Hivenet is responsible for the security of the cloud
You are responsible for the security of your data in the cloud
We make sure the platform is strong, secure, and reliable. You make sure your files, passphrases, and device access are handled with care.
It’s like renting an apartment:
We maintain the building
You lock your door and keep your keys safe
In the next two articles, we’ll break down these responsibilities in more detail—starting with what Hivenet takes care of.
