Cloud Security
A Practitioner’s Field Guide: the complete three-volume set
Each volume stands alone, with its own index. Read in order — Learn, Run, Operate — or take the one you need.
Cloud security is shared work between you and your provider. The three volumes go from the core controls, to running it day to day and handling incidents, to the ready-to-use templates.
Companion to the Cloud Security Assessment toolkit — the assessment and ready-to-use templates that put this book to work.
