The cloud moves too fast for traditional security. Attackers are using your own cloud configurations and identities against you, and they’re doing it faster than ever with AI. This Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) For Dummies® guide gives you a new playbook to stop chasing alerts and start neutralizing threats.

After reading this guide, you'll be able to:

  • Understand the modern cloud attacker’s playbook and how they exploit cloud-native features.
  • Build a proactive defense strategy that prevents threats before they can cause damage.
  • Unite your security, developer and DevOps teams into a single, collaborative defense unit.
  • Respond to active threats with the speed and automation required for the cloud.

Is this guide for me?

Whether you're designing the security architecture, building the applications or responding to incidents, you'll find proven strategies to improve your organization's cloud defense.

What's included:

  • CDR foundations: Understand the modern attacker's playbook and see how CDR helps address cloud security challenges.
  • Proactive prevention: Learn to map your cloud attack surface, secure workloads with runtime security, enforce least privilege for identities and protect your sensitive data.
  • Threat detection and investigation: Detect stealthy attacks and investigate incidents by mapping attacker techniques to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework.
  • Rapid response and remediation: Use automated playbooks for instant containment and fix the root cause in your code and infrastructure.
  • Implementation and evaluation: Get a step-by-step "Crawl, Walk, Run" guide to implementation and evaluation.

Learn how to stop cloud attacks before they become breaches.
