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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the principles of a zero trust model and the key components needed to build a reference pattern supporting the model. We also learned how to use the hybrid cloud security patterns that we discussed in earlier chapters to establish the right level of governance, configurations, controls, policies, protection, and automation and use them to build a solution with the zero trust approach. Hybrid cloud security patterns combined with zero trust models help combat cyber security threats and attacks to accelerate the digital transformation of enterprises. There are more macro and micro patterns that will be discovered in this journey and I shall look to capture them in the subsequent editions and present them to you. I hope you enjoyed reading this book as much as I did writing it. Please get in touch with me with your comments and input.
