Book Review: Cloud Security and Privacy by Tim Mather, Subra Kumaraswamy, and Shahed Latif: Publisher- O'Reilly: ISBN- 13: 978-0596802769
Cloud Security and Privacy by is one of the first book which focuses on security, privacy and Audit need of Cloud Providers as well as consuming enterprises. As rightly stated by authors in Preface book is targeted to business personnel who are concerned with processes and methodologies rather than dirty technical details.
Book covers security aspects – Data and Network in detailed manner in initial chapters and then shifts to Privacy and Audit.
For such a vast subject certainly couples of hundred pages are not sufficient but book is a good and successful attempt in right direction.
In the end of book authors has provided sample/template of SAS 70 and SysTrust Reports. The book also covers Open Security Architecture for Cloud Computing in very short and concise manner.
Disclaimer: I did not get paid to review this book, and I do not stand to gain anything if you buy the book. I have no relationship with the publisher or the author.
