Book DescriptionCloud security posture management (CSPM) is crucial for maintaining a robust security stance in the cloud. This book shows you how to effectively implement CSPM to ensure optimal security posture across multi-cloud infrastructures.
The book begins by helping you understand the fundamentals of cloud security, debunking myths surrounding the shared responsibility model, and introducing crucial topics such as defense-in-depth, the Zero Trust Model, and compliance concepts. Next, you’ll explore CSPM’s core components, tools, selection criteria, deployment strategies, and environment settings. The chapters also teach you about critical aspects like onboarding cloud accounts, dashboard customization, cloud assets inventory, configuration risks, and query exploration for effective threat hunting. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with operational practices, vulnerability and patch management, compliance benchmarks, and security alerts, and be introduced to cloud workload protection platforms (CWPPs). The concluding chapters focus on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanning, DevSecOps, and workflow automation, enabling you to thoroughly understand how to secure multi-cloud environments.
By the end of this book, you’ll have developed the skills to play a vital role at every level, from decision-making to operations.
