Welcome to CloudSec Academy, your guide to navigating the alphabet soup of cloud security acronyms and industry jargon. Cut through the noise with clear, concise, and expertly crafted content covering fundamentals to best practices.
See how Wiz turns cloud security fundamentals into real-world results.
Container management refers to the process of building, storing, deploying, and running containers in production, spanning from the image pipeline to the cluster and host.
In this article you’ll get a clear understanding of design best practices—and how tools that provide full visibility, context-aware attack mapping, and unified code-to-cloud coverage can give you more peace of mind.
API management is about how you actually govern and protect your cloud app's biggest attack surface—your APIs—from day one.
Compliance as code replaces manual audits with machine-readable policies embedded directly into software delivery lifecycles.
Watch how Wiz turns instant visibility into rapid remediation.
An incident response plan template is a pre-structured document that gives organizations a standardized framework for how to detect, investigate, contain, and recover from cybersecurity incidents.
Open Policy Agent (OPA) is an open-source, versatile policy engine that facilitates unified and context-aware policy enforcement across various cloud environments.
Open-source software (OSS) incident response (IR) tools are publicly available tools enterprises use to effectively manage and respond to numerous security threats.
Get the top 10 threat intelligence tools for 2026—key features and limitations. This master list covers the best TI feeds and tools for your environment.
A zero-day vulnerability is a software flaw that the vendor does not yet know about or has not yet patched, giving defenders zero days to prepare before attackers can exploit it.
A threat intel feed, or threat intelligence feed, provides a continuous incoming flow of data related to cyber threats and risks.
Docker secrets are encrypted credentials that Docker mounts into containers at runtime without persisting them in image layers.
Linux security ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Linux-based systems and protects them from hackers, brute-force attacks, and other cyber threats.
Container image signing is a critical security process for establishing trust. Just as you'd expect a signature to verify the authenticity of a document, image signing does the same for container images—those neat packages that carry your code along with all the necessary parts to run it anywhere.
Discover the top open-source security tools for cloud security. This guide covers the pros and cons and explains how a scanner fits into your security stack.
In this article, we’ll explore the step-by-step process of code scanning, its benefits, approaches, and best practices.
Learn how to configure Kubernetes security contexts, avoid common misconfigurations, and apply best practices for running secure clusters in production.
Cloud security logs are formatted text records that capture events and activities as they occur in a cloud environment, providing insight into what’s happening within that environment in real time.
Cloud native is a modern approach to building and running applications that fully exploits the advantages of cloud computing, including on-demand scalability, resilience, and automation.
