A company is evaluating a cloud provider for hosting IoT applications. The provider offers a shared responsibility model where the customer is responsible for patching the operating system of virtual machines. The company has limited staff and wants to minimize operational overhead. Which service model would best reduce the customer's patching responsibility?

SaaS, because the customer patches the application

On-premises, because the company controls everything

IaaS, because the provider patches the hypervisor

PaaS, because the provider manages the runtime environment

How does threat intelligence primarily help in securing cloud environments?

By automatically patching all cloud vulnerabilities

By guaranteeing that no cloud breach will ever occur

By replacing the need for cloud security controls

By providing indicators of compromise and threat actor tactics to detect and mitigate threats
