eBook Description:
Mastering Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): Secure multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud using proven techniques. Strengthen your security posture in all aspects of CSPM technology, from security infrastructure design to implementation strategies, automation, and remedial actions using operational best practices across your cloud environment.
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.
