"“Cloud Computing and Cyber Security Essentials”is an attempt to provide readers with the theoretical grounding and practical insights they'll need to succeed in this dynamic and complicated field. There has been a dramatic change in the online world. We are no longer residing in an era where data centres and applications exist in isolation. Cloud computing, on the other hand, keeps us a part of a living, breathing ecosystem. The new security threats are a direct result of this paradigm shift, which has brought about hitherto unseen levels of scalability, flexibility, and affordability.Going cloud has been an incredibly fast and lifechanging process. The foundation of today's information technology infrastructure is cloud computing, which has grown from its modest origins. From oneperson shops to Fortune 500 conglomerates, more and more businesses are moving their operations and creativity to the cloud. The appeal of payasyougo pricing, decreased managerial costs, and ondemand resources is obvious. On the other hand, a crucial knowledge of the specific security factors present in a cloud environment has been revealed by this fast adoption, which is a major gap. Applying onpremises security models to cloud infrastructure is not always a good idea. Cloud security is based on the shared responsibility concept, which states that the customer and the cloud provider should each be responsible for some aspects of security. Comprehension of this division and efficient management of the customer's side are of utmost importance. Cloud environments are always changing, which poses new problems for security experts due to elastic resources and everchanging services. In today's world of distributed and virtualized data and applications, traditional perimeterbased security models are inadequate. This book addresses this critical need by providing a holistic view of cloud computing and its intertwined relationship with cybersecurity. It is not merely a theoretical exploration but a practical guide designed to empower readers with the skills and knowledge necessary to secure cloud deployments. We delve into the core concepts of cloud computing, exploring the various service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and deployment models (public, private, hybrid). We then transition to a comprehensive examination of cybersecurity fundamentals, covering essential principles like confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA triad), risk management, and security governance.The heart of this book lies in the exploration of the specific security challenges and opportunities presented by the cloud. We examine topics such as identity and access management (IAM), data security, network security, application security, and compliance. We delve into the intricacies of securing cloudnative applications, containerization technologies, and serverless computing. We also address the growing importance of threat intelligence, security automation, and incident response in the cloud era.Cloud architects, developers, security practitioners, IT pros, and anybody else interested in learning the ropes of cloud computing and cybersecurity will find something useful in this book. This book will give you the fundamental information and useful insights you need to thrive in this fascinating industry, whether you are an expert or just starting out. When it comes to cybersecurity and cloud computing, the landscape is always changing. As time goes on, new dangers crop up, technology advances, and best practises are finetuned. Being ahead of the curve calls for a dedication to always learning and adapting. If you want to continue learning about this exciting and everchanging field, this book is a good place to start. We hope you'll give the ideas some thought, try out the technology we covered, and join the discussion about cloud security. We believe that a strong understanding of both cloud computing and cybersecurity is no longer a luxury, but a necessity in the modern digital world. This book is our contribution to bridging the knowledge gap and empowering individuals and organizations to navigate the challenges and reap the benefits of the cloud securely and confidently. We invite you to join us on this journey as we explore the essential elements of cloud computing and cybersecurity."
