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.

Part 2: Identity and Access Management Patterns

Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the core component for managing identity and access for the platform and cloud applications. Application IAM manages the identities and access for applications. This part will provide you with the reference architecture, best practices, and patterns to leverage for addressing identity and access.

This part comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 3, Implementing Identity and Access Management for Cloud Users
  • Chapter 4, Implementing Identity and Access Management for Applications
