A storage bucket left open. A role nobody reviewed. A regulatory obligation mapped to a control that was never tested. The technology is rarely the problem. The operating model is.
Cloud Security Strategy is a working manual for the people who are accountable when that operating model has to hold: CISOs, cloud security architects, and governance, risk and compliance leaders who must secure a cloud estate and then prove it to a regulator.
Written by a cybersecurity GRC executive with more than twenty years securing regulated enterprises across insurance, banking, energy and telecom, it moves from principle to practice across eleven chapters and seventy diagrams.
What you will build- Governance that produces evidence, not slideware - policies, ownership models, risk scoring, heat maps and third-party assurance that survive an audit
- Zero Trust as buildable architecture - segmentation, RBAC and ABAC, just-in-time privilege and federation, with reference designs for AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud
- Data protection engineered end to end - classification, envelope encryption, key custody and rotation, DLP and CASB, and data residency and sovereignty controls
- Detection and response tuned to the cloud - telemetry you must have, SIEM and XDR integration, ATT&CK-aligned detection engineering, SOAR playbooks and cloud forensics
- DevSecOps that developers accept - shift-left gates, supply-chain integrity with SBOMs and signing, Kubernetes and serverless hardening, and a CNAPP operating model
- Security for AI and generative AI workloads - the AI attack surface, RAG and vector store controls, prompt-injection defence, AI-SPM, and a multi-gate assurance model every production AI system must clear
Mapped throughout to NCA ECC, CCC and DCC, the SAMA Cybersecurity Framework and the Saudi PDPL, alongside ISO/IEC 27001, NIST CSF 2.0, CSA CCM, PCI DSS v4.0.1, GDPR and the EU AI Act.
Reference apparatus you will actually use- 106 tables and 70 diagrams, including control mappings and anti-pattern tables in every chapter
- 90-day, 180-day and mature implementation playbooks
- Four appendices: a cross-framework control mapping, an assessment checklist, a maturity self-assessment, and an incident response quick reference
- A 115-term glossary, 137 acronyms, and a full index
If you are responsible for a cloud estate and for the evidence that it is secure, this is the book you keep on the desk.
