If You Could Have One Resource For Cloud Security…
I got an interesting tweet sent to me today that asked a great question:
I thought about this and it occurred to me that while I would have liked to have answered that the Cloud Security Alliance Guidance was my first choice, I think the most appropriate answer is actually the following:
“Cloud Security and Privacy: An Enterprise Perspective on Risks and Compliance” by Tim Mather, Subra Kumaraswamy, and Shahed Latif is an excellent overview of the issues (and approaches to solutions) for Cloud Security and privacy. Pair it with the CSA and ENISA guidance and you’ve got a fantastic set of resources. I’d also suggest George Reese’s excellent book “Cloud Application Architectures: Building Applications and Infrastructure in the Cloud”
I suppose it’s only fair to disclose that I played a small part in reviewing/commenting on both of these books prior to being published 😉
