Overview of this book

Securing resources in the cloud is challenging, given that each provider has different mechanisms and processes. Cloud Security Handbook helps you to understand how to embed security best practices in each of the infrastructure building blocks that exist in public clouds. This book will enable information security and cloud engineers to recognize the risks involved in public cloud and find out how to implement security controls as they design, build, and maintain environments in the cloud. You'll begin by learning about the shared responsibility model, cloud service models, and cloud deployment models, before getting to grips with the fundamentals of compute, storage, networking, identity management, encryption, and more. Next, you'll explore common threats and discover how to stay in compliance in cloud environments. As you make progress, you'll implement security in small-scale cloud environments through to production-ready large-scale environments, including hybrid clouds and multi-cloud environments. This book not only focuses on cloud services in general, but it also provides actual examples for using AWS, Azure, and GCP built-in services and capabilities. By the end of this cloud security book, you'll have gained a solid understanding of how to implement security in cloud environments effectively.

What are the common ISO standards related to cloud computing?

ISO is a non-governmental international organization that publishes documents and raises awareness for standards in various topics and, in the context of this book, standards related to information security and cloud services.

ISO/IEC 27001 standard

The ISO/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27000 standard is the most widely used standard for ISM. Though it is not cloud-specific, it is considered the most fundamental standard for cloud service providers (CSPs), and it sets a solid foundation for any cloud provider, from a hyper-scale cloud provider to a small SaaS provider.

The ISO 2700x is split into the following sections:

  • ISO/IEC 27000:2018 provides an overview of ISM systems (ISMS).
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2013 is a standard for ISM.
  • ISO/IEC 27002:2013 specifies best practices for ISM.

The ISO 27001 is made of the following domains:

  • Information Security Policies
