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.

"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.

Rajasekhar Mar 20, 2020

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.

John Mar 23, 2020

Very comprehensive view on the subject. Also interesting and unique assist program. The book support program for the book available at Heartin.tech is an innovative concept. It provides an opportunity to interact with the author directly and clear all your doubts.
