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.

Implementing Network Isolation, Secure Connectivity, and Protection

In this chapter, we will learn about the patterns that can be leveraged to secure the hybrid cloud network infrastructure. Along with compute and storage, the network is one of the core infrastructure components. To scale deployments across multiple clouds, the network needs to be scaled and managed as a core unit. This is achieved through network virtualization, which makes sharing physical network resources possible by creating a virtual network. This is enabled by combining networking resources across internal and external networks. In this chapter, we will discuss the foundation patterns for managing this large virtual network. The patterns fall under the following categories:

  • Network isolation – how to isolate network traffic based on purpose and target environments
  • Network connectivity – how to establish secure connectivity in hybrid and multi-cloud environments
  • Network protection...
