What is API Security?
API security encompasses the strategies, procedures, and solutions employed to defend APIs against threats, vulnerabilities, and unauthorized intrusion.
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.
API security encompasses the strategies, procedures, and solutions employed to defend APIs against threats, vulnerabilities, and unauthorized intrusion.
It’s a good idea to consider a range of Kubernetes security tools. Open source solutions can greatly improve the security of your Kubernetes clusters, so this section explores the top 11 open-source Kubernetes security tools that can help to safeguard your Kubernetes environment.
This article offers an extensive examination of Azure environments’ most pressing security risks along with suggested approaches for effectively mitigating these challenges.
Zero trust is a dynamic, risk-based approach that protects against internal and external threats by eliminating implicit trust within the network.
Wiz connects the dots across your cloud, from code to runtime.
In this article, we’ll demystify AWS DevSecOps so that you can make the most of it. Read on to learn why it’s important to adopt; how AWS native services help DevSecOps thrive; and, most importantly, how to combine AWS with DevSecOps best practices for resilient, secure, and reliable infrastructure.
Cloud cost is the total spend across compute, storage, networking, observability, licensing, and third-party services in public clouds.
Understand the total cost of running Kubernetes: control plane, nodes, add‑ons, and time spent by engineers/operators.
OS license types are legal agreements that control how you can use, modify, and share operating system software.
This article explores why Azure cost governance needs your immediate attention, provides a practical tool-selection guide so you can make a choice that ticks all your “must-have” boxes, and shows you how to achieve cloud cost savings without weakening security.
AI runtime security safeguards your AI apps, models, and data during active operation. Going beyond traditional security’s focus on static pre-deployment analysis, runtime security monitors AI behavior at inference while it actively processes user requests and sensitive data.
A buffer overflow is a memory corruption vulnerability that allows threat actors to execute malicious code and take control of a program
Application vulnerability management is a continuous process of discovering, assessing, prioritizing, and remediating security weaknesses in your software code, APIs, and dependencies across the entire development lifecycle.
A CISSP-aligned incident response model outlines seven common steps organizations use to detect, respond to, and recover from security incidents.
An advanced persistent threat is a sophisticated cyberattack where skilled hackers break into your network and stay hidden for months or even years
Indicators of attack (IOAs) are real-time behavioral signals that reveal active malicious activity in your cloud environment. Unlike static signatures, IOAs detect attacker techniques as they happen.
SOC threat hunting is a proactive cybersecurity practice where analysts actively search for signs of malicious activity that bypass traditional security controls.
Indicators of compromise are forensic artifacts that prove a security breach has already happened. Think of IOCs as digital fingerprints left behind at a crime scene—they're specific pieces of evidence that confirm an attacker was in your system.
Enrichment in threat intelligence is the process of adding context, metadata, and relationships to raw security data to make it actionable.
An application security engineer is a security professional who protects software applications from threats throughout the entire development process.
