Book Description

Security issues are still a major concern for
all IT organizations. For many enterprises,
the move to cloud computing has raised
concerns for security, but when applications
are architected with focus on security,
cloud platforms can be made just as secure
as on-premises platforms. Cloud instances
can be kept secure by employing security
automation that helps make your data meet
your organization's security policy.
This book starts with the basics of why
cloud security is important and how
automation can be the most effective way
of controlling cloud security. You will
then delve deeper into the AWS cloud
environment and its security services
by dealing with security functions such
as Identity and Access Management
and will also learn how these services
can be automated. Moving forward,
you will come across aspects such
as cloud storage and data security, automating
cloud deployments, and so on. Then,
you'll work with OpenStack security modules
and learn how private cloud security
functions can be automated for better
time- and cost-effectiveness. Toward the end
of the book, you will gain an understanding
of the security compliance requirements
for your Cloud.
By the end of this book, you will have
hands-on experience of automating your
cloud security and governance.
