Information technology (IT) is integrated into the fabric of a business, and without business there is no requirement for IT. In fact, there should not be IT processes without mirror business processes; the processes are interwoven to support the solid financial growth and sustainability of the business. The same is true for security beyond the traditional IT focus. Cybersecurity specifically pushes security beyond IT processes, procedures, governance, infrastructure design, and authentication. Cybersecurity protection, intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, and cyber-incident response all must also be integrated into the business fabric. This book is a result of multiple customers requesting guidance, best practices for cybersecurity as they move into cloud. Security focused businesses have invested in on-premises, layered security to protect their networks, systems, users, and customer data, and now as these businesses move into the cloud, they need to follow a hybrid, layered security approach. This book answers questions such as the: What security options are available in the cloud for virtual networks, and how can they be audited? As you move virtual machines into cloud virtual subnets, how do you enable intrusion detection? Do you need to ask the board of directors for a budget increase to hire cybersecurity experts? IT has invested heavily in security standards for the business in a local datacenter; can we extend those standards and knowledge base to the cloud?
