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.
AI-DLC is an AI-centric approach to software development that positions AI as the primary executor across every phase of the lifecycle, from planning through operations, while humans provide strategic direction, approval, and oversight.
An application security engineer (AppSec engineer) secures the software development lifecycle by integrating security practices into design, code, and deployment workflows.
Threat intelligence platforms (TIPs) aggregate attacker data from OSINT, dark web sources, commercial feeds, and adversary infrastructure to highlight the threats most likely to be exploited.
A container runtime is the foundational software that allows containers to operate within a host system.
Watch how Wiz turns instant visibility into rapid remediation.
Cloud investigation and response automation (CIRA) harnesses the power of advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and automation to provide organizations with real-time insights into potential security incidents within their cloud environments
In this article, we'll compare CIEM and IAM to explain how these crucial techniques help reduce your attack surface.
Kubernetes runtime security refers to the measures and practices implemented to protect Kubernetes clusters and the applications running within them during their operational phase.
Cloud sprawl is a phenomenon that involves the unmanaged growth of cloud-based resources and services.
A reverse shell attack is a type of cyberattack where a threat actor establishes a connection from a target machine (the victim's) to their machine.
Azure penetration testing is authorized security testing of Azure apps, identities, data, and infrastructure to find exploitable weaknesses before attackers.
Penetration testing report is a formal document that details vulnerabilities found during a simulated attack, with evidence, risk ratings, and fixes.
Application penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack against a software application designed to identify exploitable security vulnerabilities before malicious actors do.
8 no-brainer container security best practices + the key components of container architecture to secure
11 essential best practices every organization should start with
Cloud observability for security means understanding your cloud's state and behavior using connected telemetry, not just logs.
Kubernetes Ingress is an API object that routes external HTTP/HTTPS traffic to multiple backend services, typically behind a shared external entry point, by mapping the HTTP Host header and URL path to specific internal services.
Kubernetes vulnerability scanning is the systematic process of inspecting a Kubernetes cluster (including its container images and configurations) to detect security misconfigurations or vulnerabilities that could compromise the security posture of the cluster.
Two major formats dominate the SBOM ecosystem: Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) and CycloneDX (CDX). Let’s review!
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.
