Description

As more and more companies are moving to cloud and multi-cloud environments, being able to assess the compliance of these environments properly is becoming more important. But in this fast-moving domain, getting the most up-to-date information is a challenge—so where do you turn? Cloud Auditing Best Practices has all the information you’ll need. With an explanation of the fundamental concepts and hands-on walk-throughs of the three big cloud players, this book will get you up to speed with cloud auditing before you know it. After a quick introduction to cloud architecture and an understanding of the importance of performing cloud control assessments, you’ll quickly get to grips with navigating AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud environments. As you explore the vital role an IT auditor plays in any company’s network, you'll learn how to successfully build cloud IT auditing programs, including using standard tools such as Terraform, Azure Automation, AWS Policy Sentry, and many more. You’ll also get plenty of tips and tricks for preparing an effective and advanced audit and understanding how to monitor and assess cloud environments using standard tools. By the end of this book, you will be able to confidently apply and assess security controls for AWS, Azure, and GCP, allowing you to independently and effectively confirm compliance in the cloud.

Before you get started, you’ll need a basic understanding of IT systems and a solid grasp of cybersecurity basics.

I've recently passed the CISSP & CISA certifications. While studying for my CISSP, I realized I needed to strengthen my audit proficiency. I purchased this book and felt it added to my preparation to clear the CISSP. So encouraged by my understanding of audits, I continued pursuing my CISA certification, and I'm thrilled to report I passed it also. This book contributed to the vast body of knowledge I used in my study preparation. I'm very thankful to the authors for building something digestible and actionable within our industry.

I have been working across different areas of Cybersecurity which is more on Business Development side.So, I am not a tech expert, and I need books to bring a broad and at the same time structured picture.This book is extremely helpful to get a structured guide for auditing, with very practical steps and strategies to take.
