Hi,
In my view, the Broker doesn't play a role in the shared responsibilities matrix, this is always between the customer and CSP. They help the customer find the right CSP, and then help manage the relationship between the 2.
Per NISTs description (Cloud Computing Reference Architecture
)
Cloud Broker: "An entity that manages the use, performance and delivery of cloud services, and negotiates relationships between cloud providers and cloud
consumers."

Subject: Responsibilities of a Cloud Broker?
Hi!
The Security Guidance briefly mentions cloud brokers throughout the text. In relation to the shared responsibility model, I was wondering, if an organization did use a cloud broker, what would the cloud broker typically be responsible for?
Thanks :)
