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.

Problem

How to evaluate, design, build, and implement solutions that provide the security and compliance posture necessary to reduce and manage risks to acceptable levels.

Context

The advantages of multicloud are better realized only if the enterprise can take the required risks. The multicloud strategy needs to be complemented with the careful management of threats and operational efficiencies. Managing multiple clouds brings in more challenges, such as ensuring value for money, as well as meeting the audit, compliance, and regulatory requirements. These risks will cut across all layers, including governance, application, integration, data, and even insider threats.

Multicloud governance provides the guardrails or set of controls to improve efficiency and eliminate risks. The controls that IT systems should implement to meet the security and compliance goals are defined in the corporate security policy document. This policy document...
