Securing these identities is essential to protecting cloud-native environments, automated workflows, and machine-to-machine interactions from breaches, data leaks, and abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive guide to securing NHIs through practical strategies and hands-on demonstrations. Readers will explore the evolution of NHI security, from early machine-to-machine protocols to modern Zero Trust frameworks. Key topics include designing secure service accounts, managing API tokens and certificates, implementing secrets management with tools like HashiCorp Vault, SPRIE, and applying robust security controls such as encryption, access control, monitoring, ZTA, testing, automation, and centralization. To reinforce these concepts, the book presents a hands-on proof of concept (PoC) that demonstrates secure NHI management in an MCP system. Readers will gain insights into automating identity provisioning, ensuring credential hygiene, and integrating security best practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end of this book, readers will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to build resilient, security-first environments that protect NHIs across dynamic infrastructures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT YOU WILL LEARN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e● Understand the evolution of NHI and best practices for securing service accounts, API tokens, and certificates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e● Implement secure credential storage, rotation, and access control using HashiCorp Vault and Kubernetes Secrets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e● Practical strategies for enforcing Zero Trust Architecture, rate limiting, and allow\/block lists to mitigate unauthorized access and abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e● Build a functional MCP system that integrates secure identity management, credential hygiene, and automated workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e● Explore future-ready strategies like AI-driven threat detection, quantum-resistant algorithms, and dynamic authentication models to secure evolving infrastructures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHO THIS BOOK IS FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book targets intermediate to advanced practitioners, security professionals, engineering teams, and technical leadership who must have foundational knowledge of cloud-native, API-driven, and automated infrastructure concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aiyan Ma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9365892538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789365892536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bpb Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Aiyan Ma","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48014376009983,"sku":"9789365892536","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0676583b-9fcf-4b68-ac58-47062dece599.jpg?v=1767748084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/identity-security-for-software-development-aiyan-ma-9789365892536","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
