Field-tested best practices and considerations for securely migrating data, apps, and services into the cloud Organized with network architects and network operations managers in mind, Secure Cloud Deployment is geared towards those not yet in the cloud and/or only partially in who need a roadmap for planning and migrating securely into the cloud. The book also provides an essential spot-checking guide for those organizations already in the cloud but without airtight security. This practical guide is organized into three main sections: A Cloud Security Model, Inner Workings, and Operational Concerns. Part I details how secure networks are built today, features and concerns, a thorough analysis of cloud solution providers (Amazon, Salesforce, Microsoft, etc.), and consideration for moving applications and services into the cloud. Part II details the more technical inner workings of securing data in the cloud, including attack surface reduction, storage, hypervisors, engineering, and best practices for adding to and tailoring cloud systems.
Part III goes into the important operational and upkeep concerns, responding to and documenting incidents regarding the cloud, and efficiencies for ongoing maintenance.
