I found the book to be of great value providing an excellent starting point for auditing AWS, GCP, and Azure cloud environments. It comprehensively covers various aspects of cloud architecture auditing, techniques for audit preparation, IAM controls, and much more. I particularly appreciated the time-saving illustrations and walkthroughs included by the author. I’m recommending this book to my colleagues as a go-to reference for our upcoming on-premise to cloud migration.

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.
