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 3: Infrastructure Security Patterns

Enterprises can take advantage of the variety of compute options that are now available in hybrid multi-cloud environments, namely: bare-metal servers, VMs, containers, and serverless, as well as specialized infrastructure to develop and run their software. This chapter provides the context to the type of attacks that can happen against different compute types of the modern hybrid cloud infrastructure and how to protect them. It is also important to know how to isolate network traffic based on purpose and establish secure connectivity across these compute environments. In this part, we will discuss the patterns on how to secure the hybrid cloud compute and network, which are the most essential components of hybrid cloud infrastructure.

This part comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 5, How to Secure Compute Infrastructure?
  • Chapter 6, Implementing Network Protection, Isolation, and Secure Connectivity
