When comparing different Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), it is important to recognize that while they may have similar organizational structures — such as divisions for security, compliance, and support — they often use varying terminology to describe their services, roles, and responsibilities. Understanding these differences is crucial for cybersecurity professionals to ensure proper alignment of security practices, controls, and policies across different cloud platforms.

CSPs typically have variations in organizational structure and terminology. While the structure can vary, it is not usually "vastly" different in terms of core functions. Differences in terminology can have implications for understanding security roles, policies, and practices, affecting how cybersecurity tasks are performed.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) primarily provides users with storage, computing resources, and networking capabilities. In the IaaS model, cloud providers offer virtualized computing resources over the internet. Users can rent servers, storage, and networking equipment without needing to manage the physical hardware themselves. This allows for flexible scaling and resource management according to the users' needs.

FaaS focuses on serverless computing where users run code in response to events. PaaS provides a platform that allows users to develop, run, and manage applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. SaaS delivers fully managed applications over the internet, where users access software without managing the infrastructure.

One of the primary advantages of including Static Application Security Testing (SAST) in Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines is that it allows developers to identify code vulnerabilities early in the development process. By scanning the source code for potential security issues as it is being written and integrated into the pipeline, SAST helps to catch vulnerabilities before they make it to later stages of development or production, improving overall security and reducing the cost and effort of fixing issues later.

While SAST does not directly impact the speed of deployment, runtime performance, or user interface, its early identification of security flaws contributes to better code quality and a more secure application.

Serverless environments are vulnerable to misconfigurations, which can expose sensitive data and resources, making security configurations critical. Reference: [Security Guidance v5, Domain 8 - Cloud Workload Security][16†source].
