Description

This book will help you secure your cloud infrastructure confidently with cloud security posture management (CSPM) through expert guidance that’ll enable you to implement CSPM effectively, ensuring an optimal security posture across multi-cloud infrastructures. The book begins by unraveling the fundamentals of cloud security, debunking myths about the shared responsibility model, and introducing key concepts such as defense-in-depth, the Zero Trust model, and compliance. Next, you’ll explore CSPM's core components, tools, selection criteria, deployment strategies, and environment settings, which will be followed by chapters on onboarding cloud accounts, dashboard customization, cloud assets inventory, configuration risks, and cyber threat hunting. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with operational practices, vulnerability and patch management, compliance benchmarks, and security alerts. You’ll also gain insights into cloud workload protection platforms (CWPPs). The concluding chapters focus on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanning, DevSecOps, and workflow automation, providing a thorough understanding of securing multi-cloud environments. By the end of this book, you’ll have honed the skills to make informed decisions and contribute effectively at every level, from strategic planning to day-to-day operations.

Who is this book for?

If you’re a cloud security administrator, security engineer, or DevSecOps engineer, you’ll find this book useful every step of the way—from proof of concept to the secured, automated implementation of CSPM with proper auto-remediation configuration.

Hard work of Author "Qamar Nomani" is very well evidenced with the amount of time invested to cover 360 Degree view on Cloud Security Posture, which is an "essential" resource for anyone involved in securing cloud environments. Not only providing the concepts with a comprehensive coverage, showcased the practical aspects from Microsoft Defender tool which makes it a valuable addition to the library of cloud security professionals. I wish if we can have CSPM tools screenshots from Amazon AWS, GCP as well.Never the less there is a room for more depth in certain areas and updates on the future trends and challenges. Book provides a solid foundation and actionable insights for managing and enhancing cloud security posture.
