Practical Cloud Security Handbook - Secure cloud deployments with AWS, Azure, GCP, and IBM Cloud

This handbook systematically guides you from cloud security fundamentals, including the shared responsibility model, through various cloud-native architectural patterns and top cloud workloads like IAM, VPC, and containerization. You will gain a deep understanding of core security concepts, such as encryption and protocols, and then explore the practical, multi-cloud configurations for securing storage, network services, and identity access management across AWS, Azure, IBM, and GCP. The book progresses to vital operational security aspects like monitoring, encryption application, and robust testing. It further explores modern approaches like security as code, offering best practices for both cloud-native and non-cloud-native implementations, integrates DevSecOps principles, and concludes with crucial compliance and regulatory considerations.
