This book teaches you best practices for building a scaled cloud native security program, with a focus on microservices security. You'll be guided through every step of developing and deploying security infrastructure in a cloud native software development environment, using modern, cutting-edge security tenets. In later chapters, you'll put all of these skills together in a case study from the author's first-hand experience as engineers and technical managers. This vendor-agnostic book relies on open source software and in-house tools you can scale up or down for your own organization's requirements.

Along the way, you'll learn to:

• Perform threat monitoring to understand the security properties and risks of cloud native environments
  
• Implement secure authorization and authentication with cloud native patterns
  
• Use runtime monitoring to catch and stop attacks
  
• Implement secrets management and build secure network and services meshes
  
• Think like a security engineer at scale to effectively plan secure designs
