Key benefits

  • Explore useful recipes for implementing robust cloud security solutions on AWS
  • Monitor your AWS infrastructure and workloads using CloudWatch, CloudTrail, config, GuardDuty, and Macie
  • Prepare for the AWS Certified Security-Specialty exam by exploring various security models and compliance offerings

Description

As a security consultant, securing your infrastructure by implementing policies and following best practices is critical. This cookbook discusses practical solutions to the most common problems related to safeguarding infrastructure, covering services and features within AWS that can help you implement security models such as the CIA triad (confidentiality, integrity, and availability), and the AAA triad (authentication, authorization, and availability), along with non-repudiation. The book begins with IAM and S3 policies and later gets you up to speed with data security, application security, monitoring, and compliance. This includes everything from using firewalls and load balancers to secure endpoints, to leveraging Cognito for managing users and authentication. Over the course of this book, you'll learn to use AWS security services such as Config for monitoring, as well as maintain compliance with GuardDuty, Macie, and Inspector. Finally, the book covers cloud security best practices and demonstrates how you can integrate additional security services such as Glacier Vault Lock and Security Hub to further strengthen your infrastructure. By the end of this book, you'll be well versed in the techniques required for securing AWS deployments, along with having the knowledge to prepare for the AWS Certified Security – Specialty certification.

Who is this book for?

If you are an IT security professional, cloud security architect, or a cloud application developer working on security-related roles and are interested in using AWS infrastructure for secure application deployments, then this Amazon Web Services book is for you. You will also find this book useful if you’re looking to achieve AWS certification. Prior knowledge of AWS and cloud computing is required to get the most out of this book.

"AWS Security Cookbook" by Heartin Kanikathottu is an excellent resource for getting hands-on experience with AWS security services. The author did a great job of making the readers familiar with IAM and S3 policies; then taking deeper into data security, application security, monitoring, and compliance topics. The target audience for this book is cloud security professionals. I am preparing for AWS-SCS 02 exam. This book is also helpful for individuals interested in taking up the AWS Certified Security – Specialty certification. I liked how the author used AWS CLI to acquire and interact with AWS services. As a former developer, I love CLI instead of UI. The author provided the source code required via GitHub for the hands-on activities. I wish the author had provided instructions at the end of each chapter regarding releasing services acquired. The author did a great job of presenting the material serving the book’s intended purpose. I recommend this book for cloud security architects and anyone interested in taking AWS Certified Security – Specialty certification.

AWS Security Cookbook by Heartin Kanikathottu is special in many ways.1. The book is currently 8th among the best cloud computing books of all time.2. Irrespective of what version of the book you buy, you get book support directly from author and students through at BuddyCult.com, a platform developed and maintained by author. Earlier it was through heartin.tech, even though you still have to make requests through heartin.tech. It could be bit confusing. Anyway, it is worth. Technology books on IT and especially cloud changes very fast. But able to interact and learn with the author is much more worth than the price you pay.3. This is the only recipe based book I could find on AWS Security Speciality certification.Some cons are that the physical copy price is bit higher compared to other books in India and the Kindle has some formatting issues here and there. Anyway, my objective was to join the book support group and learn about cloud security in depth, and hence bought kindle edition.

Happy to see that there is finally an Indian print is there. Price has come down to 2K from 8K, which is still bit high for Indian market. However, considering the support from author through his LinkedIn profile and blogs Heartin.tech and CloudMaterials.com it is not a bad deal either.

I am very happy that I could get a copy of this book. I have read the previous book from the author and had written a review too.Book support program is a very nice initiative that author is providing through his blog Heartin.tech. You can connect directly with the author and ask any doubts. You can also get updates regarding services used within the book, errata etc.Once after connecting with the author through the book support program of his old book, I also got the opportunity to review certain chapters of this new book before its release.To my surprise, my name was also mentioned in the thank you section of the book. Getting your name printed in an internationally printed book is a great deal.Price of books from this publisher is generally bit high, but experiences like these make it worth.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
