Hybrid Cloud Security Patterns

By: Sreekanth Iyer

Overview of this book

Security is a primary concern for enterprises going through digital transformation and accelerating their journey to multi-cloud environments. This book recommends a simple pattern-based approach to architecting, designing and implementing security for workloads deployed on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM Cloud. The book discusses enterprise modernization trends and related security opportunities and challenges. You’ll understand how to implement identity and access management for your cloud resources and applications. Later chapters discuss patterns to protect cloud infrastructure (compute, storage and network) and provide protection for data at rest, in transit and in use. You’ll also learn how to shift left and include security in the early stages of application development to adopt DevSecOps. The book also deep dives into threat monitoring, configuration and vulnerability management, and automated incident response. Finally, you’ll discover patterns to implement security posture management backed with intelligence and automated protection to stay ahead of threats. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned all the hybrid cloud security patterns and be able to use them to create zero trust architecture that provides continuous security and compliance for your cloud workloads.

Secure engineering and threat modeling

Let’s get started!

Problem

How can we incorporate security early in the application’s conceptualization and development cycle?

Context

In the current scenario, enterprises need to continuously incorporate customer feedback and deliver new capabilities faster. In cloud-native development, applications are developed in an agile model with continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD). Traditionally security was considered an afterthought or referred to as bolt-on security. Unlike traditional approaches for meeting the demands of the modern world, development and operations need to come together as DevOps. As described in Figure 8.2, the model is often referred to as shift left security, which essentially means considering security early in this approach during the stages of conceptualization, design, development, and deployment – that is, DevSecOps. This will ensure that the application is securely developed...
