Описание:Learn the most important topics in securing AWS environments through a strategic combination of fundamental principles, real-case studies, and hands-on practice to battle new generations of cyber-attacks. The book offers a definitive guide to AWS cybersecurity, ranging from identity and access management, Zero Trust architecture, and cloud threat intelligence through advanced detection methods, forensics, and incident response strategies.
We start with a deep dive into AWS security fundamentals, such as the shared responsibility model, security pillars, reference architecture, and compliance frameworks like NIST, ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA. We then demystify cloud security by explaining threat modeling, risk analysis, network security, secure configurations, and automated security monitoring with AWS-native services such as AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, WAF, and IAM.
In addition to the fundamentals, this book explores attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)—taking a deep dive into cyber adversary activity, such as reconnaissance, lateral movement, persistence, privilege escalation, and exfiltration methods in AWS environments. You will discover how cyber attackers take advantage of poorly configured IAM roles, AWS exposed credentials, cloud reconnaissance methods, and AI-powered phishing campaigns—and learn how to successfully fight back.
Next few chapters offer prescriptive security advice for new technologies such as serverless computing, containerized workloads, hybrid and multi-cloud security, IoT security issues, and cryptocurrency threats. We cover Zero Trust frameworks, presenting real-world implementations founded on NIST SP 800-207, Forrester ZTX, and CSA Zero Trust Architecture principles.
The book finishes with a forward-looking discussion of AI-powered threats such as deepfake attacks, AI-powered malware, and next-generation adversarial attacks and defense countermeasures founded on AI-powered detection and automation. Furthermore, detailed incident response and forensic techniques provide readers with the know-how to examine AWS security incidents, create playbooks, and employ proactive defense.
You Will:
Examine and remediate cloud security threats using comprehensive risk analysis, proactive monitoring, and AWS-native security tools
Get hands-on implementation of Zero Trust architectures, identity-based security, and least privilege principles in AWS
Find out how to detect and respond to sophisticated cyberattacks, including credential theft, cloud-aware malware, and AI-powered phishing campaigns
Learn to Mitigate ransomware threats in AWS, including prevention, detection, response, and disaster recovery techniques
Explore how to secure multi-cloud and hybrid deployments, IoT, serverless apps, and containerized workloads
Understand practical approaches to automating cloud security, monitoring compliance, and creating efficient detection pipelines
Who This Book Is For
The book caters to beginner-to-intermediate cybersecurity professionals, AWS users, solution architects, developers, and cloud security enthusiasts seeking a comprehensive understanding of AWS security.
