Cloud Attack Vectors: Building Effective Cyber-Defense Strategies to Protect Cloud Resources
by Morey J. Haber Brian Chappell Christopher HillsCyberattacks continue to increase in volume and sophistication, targeting everything owned, managed, and serviced from the cloud. Today, there is widespread consensus—it is not a matter of if, but rather when an organization will be breached. Threat actors typically target the path of least resistance. With the accelerating adoption of cloud technologies and remote work, the path of least resistance is shifting in substantive ways. In recent years, attackers have realigned their efforts, focusing on remaining undetected, monetization after exploitation, and publicly shaming organizations after a breach.New, innovative, and useful products continue to emerge and offer some cloud protection, but they also have distinct limitations. No single, standalone solution or strategy can effectively protect against all cloud attack vectors or identify all malicious activity. The simple fact is that the cloud is based on a company’s assets being offered as services. As a result, the best security any organization can achieve is to establish controls and procedures in conjunction with services that are licensed in the cloud.Cloud Attack Vectors details the risks associated with cloud deployments, the techniques threat actors leverage, the empirically-tested defensive measures organizations should adopt, and shows how to improve detection of malicious activity.What You’ll Learn Know the key definitions pertaining to cloud technologies, threats, and cybersecurity solutionsUnderstand how entitlements, permissions, rights, identities, accounts, credentials, and exploits can be leveraged to breach a cloud environmentImplement defensive and monitoring strategies to mitigate cloud threats, including those unique to cloud and hybrid cloud environmentsDevelop a comprehensive model for documenting risk, compliance, and reporting based on your cloud implementation Who This Book Is ForNew security professionals, entry-level cloud security engineers, managers embarking on digital transformation, and auditors looking to understand security and compliance risks associated with the cloud

Cloud Bibliography
by Safari Content TeamOne of the greatest changes in the computing world has been the move to using common, distributed hardware and software to support services, coined cloud computing. We have chosen a selection of the most useful books in cloud computing within this bibliography. First we look at the basics and some of the key concepts and issues that arise in Cloud computing in general. Then we examine how the 'as a service' (aaS) has helped to drive and expand the reach of the cloud deployment environment. Next, the role of different cloud services, both internal to support cloud operations, and externally provided as a part of the web of cloud operational support are covered. Virtualization, the effective division of computing to more essential computing units has helped to make broad-spectrum web services effective and distributed, and is another key driver behind understanding the cloud. Combining both cloud services and existing datacenters is the role of the Hybrid cloud, aiming to take advantage of the best of both worlds. An array of cloud deployment and development platforms are described, covering both public and private cloud services. Throughout the cloud environment security is a major concern, especially when sharing and distributing user and customer data. Finally, the role of development tools and environments are examined, covering both key tools and entire development stacks. So, be sure to take advantage of the books and videos on cloud computing that you will find in the Safari Books Online library.

Cloud Capacity Management: Capacity Management
by Navin Sabharwal Prashant WaliCloud Capacity Management helps readers in understanding what the cloud, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS are, how they relate to capacity planning and management and which stakeholders are involved in delivering value in the cloud value chain. It explains the role of capacity management for a creator, aggregator, and consumer of cloud services and how to provision for it in a 'pay as you use model'. This involves a high level of abstraction and virtualization to facilitate rapid and on demand provisioning of services. The conventional IT service models take a traditional approach when planning for service capacity to provide optimum services levels which has huge cost implications for service providers. This book addresses the gap areas between traditional capacity management practices and cloud service models. It also showcases capacity management process design and implementation in a cloud computing domain using ITSM best practices. This book is a blend of ITSM best practices and infrastructure capacity planning and optimization implementation in various cloud scenarios. Cloud Capacity Management addresses the basics of cloud computing, its various models, and their impact on capacity planning. This book also highlights the infrastructure capacity management implementation process in a cloud environment showcasing inherent capabilities of tool sets available and the various techniques for capacity planning and performance management. Techniques like dynamic resource scheduling, scaling, load balancing, and clustering etc are explained for implementing capacity management. This book also covers emerging techniques in the cloud capacity management area: Self learning systems Yield management Proactive capacity planning

Cloud Computing
by Nayan B. RupareliaMost of the information available on cloud computing is either highly technical, with details that are irrelevant to non-technologists, or pure marketing hype, in which the cloud is simply a selling point. This book, however, explains the cloud from the user's viewpoint -- the business user's in particular. Nayan Ruparelia explains what the cloud is, when to use it (and when not to), how to select a cloud service, how to integrate it with other technologies, and what the best practices are for using cloud computing. Cutting through the hype, Ruparelia cites the simple and basic definition of cloud computing from the National Institute of Science and Technology: a model enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Thus with cloud computing, businesses can harness information technology resources usually available only to large enterprises. And this, Ruparelia demonstrates, represents a paradigm shift for business. It will ease funding for startups, alter business plans, and allow big businesses greater agility. Ruparelia discusses the key issues for any organization considering cloud computing: service level agreements, business service delivery and consumption, finance, legal jurisdiction, security, and social responsibility. He introduces novel concepts made possible by cloud computing: cloud cells, or specialist clouds for specific uses; the personal cloud; the cloud of things; and cloud service exchanges. He examines use case patterns in terms of infrastructure and platform, software information, and business process; and he explains how to transition to a cloud service. Current and future users will find this book an indispensable guide to the cloud.
