Book Description

Securing cloud resources is complex, as each provider employs different mechanisms and processes. This book guides you in embedding security best practices across the core infrastructure components of public cloud environments. It helps information security and cloud engineers with the knowledge to identify risks in public cloud platforms and implement security controls throughout the design, deployment, and maintenance of cloud environments. You'll start by learning the shared responsibility model, cloud service models, and deployment models, followed by fundamental concepts such as compute, storage, networking, identity management, and encryption. From there, you'll delve into common threats and learn how to maintain compliance in cloud environments. As you progress, you'll implement security strategies from small-scale cloud deployments to enterprise-grade production environments, including hybrid and multi-cloud setups. This edition also expands on emerging topics, including securing GenAI services and applying DevSecOps practices in production environments. Alongside general cloud security principles, the book provides hands-on examples of leveraging built-in security features across AWS, Azure, and GCP. By the end of this book, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively secure cloud environments.
