A no-fluff guide to implementing best practices for securing cloud native services.

This book teaches you best practices for building a scaled cloud native security program, with a focus on microservices security. You’ll be guided through every step of developing and deploying security infrastructure in a cloud native software development environment, using modern, cutting-edge security tenets. In later chapters, you’ll put all of these skills together in a case study from the author’s first-hand experience as engineers and technical managers. This vendor-agnostic book relies on open source software and in-house tools you can scale up or down for your own organization’s requirements. 

Along the way, you’ll learn to:


Perform threat monitoring to understand the security properties and risks of cloud native environments

Implement secure authorization and authentication with cloud native patterns

Use runtime monitoring to catch and stop attacks 

Implement secrets management and build secure network and services meshes

Think like a security engineer at scale to  effectively plan secure designs



Each chapter provides step-by-step explanations of vital concepts, practical examples, common security mistakes, and quizzes to test your knowledge.
