AWS Marketplace would like to present you with a digital copy of the new book, Practical Guide to Security in the AWS Cloud, by the SANS Institute.
This book is a collection of knowledge from 18 contributing authors who share their tactics, techniques, and procedures for securely operating in the cloud. Each of the 27 chapters introduces a component of a bigger picture that, once put together, creates a holistic approach for your organization's security operations in the cloud.
These resources model the whole life cycle of security, touching on aspects of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, and Respond. Reading this book's 365 pages will help provide security teams with foundational knowledge and actionable advice to succeed as they move to the cloud.
