• From Industry Practitioners

  Security Architecture for Hybrid Cloud provides a wealth of information to assist IT and security professionals, from strategic leadership to architects to engineers.

  It provides concrete, practical, and comprehensive information about how to plan, design, build, and operate secure IT environments and solutions. The information is well-structured, the writing precise and easy to read, and provides numerous concrete examples to illustrate the points.

  I will find a prime spot on my bookshelf for this book and expect it will be a valuable reference in my work.

  Sarah Brown - Principal Cyber Security Lead, NATO NCI Agency

  This book is an essential read and reference for any discerning Architect. Security considerations are, at a minimum, an essential consideration in all solutions and enterprises, so are of worthy note for all Architects.

  At one level, this work provides essential guidance for those seeking to ensure the viability and validation of the security elements of their solutions, as well as guiding the vital efforts of governance required to assure enterprises of their overall security.

  At the same time, dedicated security professionals who seek to build upon proven robust practices in their security solutions will gain strong insights as to how solid architectural thinking will reinforce their expertise

  A book that will only become more and more relevant.

  Paul Homan, Distinguished Engineer and Architect Profession Lead, IBM

  Tackling the IT Security for a complex system is daunting, but this book gives an excellent overview of the wide range of topics which you will need to consider, and how you should approach it.

  Kevin Robson, Executive IT Architect, IBM

  This book is an excellent reference for anyone responsible for integrating security into a solution architecture.

  Pete Vincent, Enterprise Security Architect, IBM

• From Cloud and Architecture Authors

  As security concerns evolve rapidly and zero-trust models become increasingly prevalent, ‘Security Architecture for Hybrid Cloud’ provides a structured approach that is valuable for all software architects; not just security professionals.

  Murat Erder, author of Continuous Architecture in Practice

  Security Architecture for Hybrid Cloud distills the collected wisdom of many skilled practitioners with thousands of successful cloud deployments, and provides an in-depth look at architectural thinking based on this experience.

  The authors explain why architectural thinking is essential for larger-scale systems and applications, some frameworks and patterns to avoid starting from scratch each time, and how to take a balanced and iterative approach for secure design and implementation.

  It's a must-read for anyone responsible for the security, scalability, availability, and usability of complex systems.

  Chris Dotson, Distinguished Engineer, author of Practical Cloud Security

• From Academia

  This book provides comprehensive and accessible coverage of architecting for security that will become a standard reference in its field.

  Paul Krause, Emeritus Professor, University of Surrey

  This book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to secure their hybrid or public cloud infrastructure, offering comprehensive best practices and actionable guidance.

  Professor Bart Preneel, Head of Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography (COSIC), KU Leuven

  In an era where cyber threats are constantly evolving and becoming increasingly sophisticated, it is imperative that the next generation of cybersecurity professionals possess the skills and knowledge to enable them to design and deliver effective security for the cloud.

  The popularity of architectural thinking for security among students underscores its significance as a foundational pillar of cybersecurity education. This excellent book serves as a valuable resource for students and will further enhance their learning. I would recommend it to anyone keen to learn more about security architectures in the cloud.

  Professor Steve Schneider, Director of Computer Science Research Centre, University of Surrey
