Overview of this book

This book will help you secure your cloud infrastructure confidently with cloud security posture management (CSPM) through expert guidance that’ll enable you to implement CSPM effectively, ensuring an optimal security posture across multi-cloud infrastructures. The book begins by unraveling the fundamentals of cloud security, debunking myths about the shared responsibility model, and introducing key concepts such as defense-in-depth, the Zero Trust model, and compliance. Next, you’ll explore CSPM's core components, tools, selection criteria, deployment strategies, and environment settings, which will be followed by chapters on onboarding cloud accounts, dashboard customization, cloud assets inventory, configuration risks, and cyber threat hunting. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with operational practices, vulnerability and patch management, compliance benchmarks, and security alerts. You’ll also gain insights into cloud workload protection platforms (CWPPs). The concluding chapters focus on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanning, DevSecOps, and workflow automation, providing a thorough understanding of securing multi-cloud environments. By the end of this book, you’ll have honed the skills to make informed decisions and contribute effectively at every level, from strategic planning to day-to-day operations.

Preface

Welcome to the world of Mastering Cloud Security Posture Management. In today’s ever-changing tech world, where organizations heavily rely on cloud technologies, keeping digital assets safe is more important than ever. Think of this book as your friendly guide, helping you navigate through the complexities of Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) to strengthen how your organization stays secure across different cloud setups.

As we dive into the heart of things, know that this book is your companion in understanding the essentials. We start with the basics in Chapter 1, Cloud Security Fundamentals, laying the groundwork for what’s to come. Each subsequent chapter peels back layers, revealing insights, strategies, and practices tailored for the multi-cloud landscape.

One thing that sets this book apart is its vendor-neutral stance. We’re not pushing a particular tool. Instead, in Chapter 3, CSPM Tools and Features, we explore the broader world of tools, ensuring you have the freedom to choose what suits your needs. This journey is about your mastery, not brand loyalty.

In Chapter 6, Onboarding Cloud Accounts, we seamlessly transition into the practical side, making sure you’re ready to safeguard your digital treasures. We demystify complex concepts, from Exploring Environment Settings (Chapter 8) to managing your digital assets in Exploring Cloud Asset Inventory (Chapter 9).

The emphasis here is on your journey. No matter your background, from Reviewing CSPM Dashboards (Chapter 10) to mitigating Major Configuration Risks (Chapter 11), we’ve got your back. Become a digital detective in Investigating Threats with Query Explorer and KQL (Chapter 12) and fortify your defenses with Vulnerability and Patch Management (Chapter 13).

But this book isn’t just about the present; it’s about preparing for the future. Join us in exploring Future Trends and Challenges (Chapter 19) to stay ahead in the ever-evolving landscape.

So, why pick up this book? Because it’s your gateway to mastering cloud security without bias, a journey into understanding, and a toolkit for securing your digital kingdom across multiple clouds. Get ready to embark on a captivating adventure!
