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.
Successful security programs utilize runtime signal analysis with cloud context to eliminate unnecessary alerts and focus on exploitable threats—active malicious behaviors, suspicious identity patterns, and attack paths—not just static vulnerabilities.
DevSecOps Automation is the practice of embedding automated security controls into every phase of software development and deployment.
Application Vulnerability Scanning is the automated process of detecting security weaknesses in software applications before attackers exploit them.
AI data classification is the process of using machine learning to automatically sort and label data based on its content and sensitivity.
Wiz connects the dots across your cloud, from code to runtime.
Kubernetes YAML is the declarative file format Kubernetes uses to define, configure, and manage cluster resources.
Despite the costs and challenges involved, achieving solid cloud network defenses is an opportunity for SMBs to reinforce cloud operations and maximize their cloud investments.
A guide on the 9 best OSS API security tools that protect sensitive data, infrastructure, and business logic from unauthorized access, data theft, and other attacks.
Zero trust data security extends traditional zero trust principles to data protection by requiring continuous verification.
Code auditing is the systematic examination of source code to identify security vulnerabilities, bugs, performance issues, and compliance violations.
GDPR security controls are the mandatory technical and organizational safeguards you must implement to protect the personal data you process.

This article will start with a quick refresher on SBOMs and then list the top SBOM-generation tools available.
CI/CD security tools automate security checks in development pipelines to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations during code changes, ensuring continuous security.
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is a framework that involves gathering, analyzing, and interpreting publicly available data to gain insights into cyber threats, adversarial activities, and attack techniques. OSINT identifies innocuous-seeming information that, if analyzed with an attacker’s mindset, could reveal critical loopholes in an enterprise’s security posture.
SecOps is the collaborative integration of IT security and operations teams to protect and manage an organization's digital assets more efficiently.
In this Academy article, we'll dig into SAST and DAST security testing methods, exploring how they work and their core aspects
