Cloud Security Engineering is a practical, multi-cloud guide built for engineers who already know their way around AWS, Azure, or GCP and now need to secure what they've built. Across twelve chapters, the book moves from foundations (the shared responsibility model, identity, and networking) through the day-to-day work of data protection, compute hardening, and posture management, into the deeper territory of workload protection, infrastructure-as-code scanning, Kubernetes security, and cloud incident response.

This isn't a theory book. Every chapter pairs conceptual explanation with real, runnable artifacts: least-privilege IAM policies, Terraform security scans, CSPM checklists, Falco and Sentinel detection rules, and a complete incident response runbook you can adapt directly. Real breaches, including the 2024 Snowflake incident, are examined for the engineering lessons they offer, not for blame.

Whether your workloads live primarily in one cloud or you're building a unified multicloud governance program, this book gives you the patterns, the tooling map, and the program-level guidance to ship cloud security at scale, engineered in from the start rather than bolted on at the end.
