Trusted Cloud Security Practice Guide for VMware Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Environments

NIST SP 1800-19A & B, Trusted Cloud - Security Practice Guide for VMware Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Environments. Draft released November 20, 2018.

Cloud services can provide organizations the opportunity to increase their flexibility, availability, resiliency, and scalability, which they can use in turn to increase security, privacy, efficiency, responsiveness, innovation, and competitiveness. The core impediments to an organization's broader adoption of cloud technologies are the ability to protect its information and virtual assets in the cloud, and to have sufficient visibility so it can conduct oversight and ensure that it (and its cloud provider) are complying with applicable laws and business practices. The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) at NIST built a laboratory environment using commercial off-the-shelf technology and cloud services to safeguard the security and privacy of an organization's applications and data being run within or transferred between private and hybrid/public clouds.

Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to.

First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it's all there - including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour.

It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com
