Synopsis

A Practical Guide to Network Hardening, OS Security, and Cloud Architecture Defense
Modern infrastructures are more complex—and more vulnerable—than ever before. Between hybrid networks, distributed systems, cloud-native platforms, and remote endpoints, attackers now have countless entry points. Secure Infrastructure Design provides a complete, practical blueprint for securing every layer of today’s IT environments.
This book focuses on applied security engineering: network defense, server hardening, cloud architecture security, identity controls, and zero-trust principles. You’ll learn the exact techniques used by enterprise security teams to design resilient systems, lock down critical workloads, and enforce robust, scalable defense policies.
Whether you're securing Linux and Windows servers, building hardened cloud deployments, or protecting large-scale networks, this guide gives you the tools, frameworks, and real-world strategies needed to prevent intrusions before they begin.
What You’ll Learn

  • Implement network segmentation, firewall policies, and zero-trust perimeter models
  • Harden Linux and Windows servers using proven security baselines and best practices
  • Design resilient hybrid and multi-cloud architectures with embedded security controls
  • Protect workloads using IAM, policy governance, encryption, and secure configurations
  • Build a repeatable infrastructure security blueprint for enterprise environments
  • Deploy automated compliance checks and system integrity monitoring
  • Prevent misconfigurations and reduce attack surface across entire infrastructures
Ideal for system administrators, DevSecOps engineers, cloud architects, and IT professionals responsible for securing corporate environments.
