Academy

Application Security
coming soon.

We're building the Application Security curriculum now. Four full tracks are already live and free to start.

Start with Foundations All tracks
In short

The Application Security track of the Vijilan Cybersecurity Academy is in active development. Every business now runs on web applications and APIs — and so do its attackers. This track will walk the application attack surface from the OWASP Top 10 through secure development practice to what application-layer compromise looks like in SOC telemetry. Every academy track is free, and each finishes with a domain badge that counts toward the Vijilan Certified Defender capstone.

What this track will cover

  • The OWASP Top 10
    Injection, broken access control and the rest of the canonical web application risks.
  • Secure development lifecycle
    Threat modeling, code review and shifting security left without stalling delivery.
  • API security
    Authentication, rate limiting and the quiet risks of machine-to-machine traffic.
  • AppSec in the SOC
    WAF signals, application logs and detecting exploitation in production.

The full lesson list and knowledge checks land when the curriculum ships — the outline above is the shape of the course.

Live now: four free tracks

Foundations

Build the mental model every security professional needs: how attackers think, how defenders respond, and the vocabulary that connects the two. No prior experience required.

Start free
Network Security

Master the protocols, tools, and attacker techniques that define network defense. From packet analysis to firewall policy, you'll think like a SOC analyst watching every hop.

Start free
AI Detection and Response

The fastest-moving domain in security. How AI transformed detection and response, how attackers weaponize the same models, and how to defend AI systems themselves — from EDR lineage to agentic SOC operations, adversarial AI, and prompt injection.

Start free
SIEM & SOAR Engineering

The masterclass in building and operating a modern SOC stack: collecting the right telemetry, parsing and normalizing it into a common schema, engineering behavioral detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and automating response with SOAR playbooks that keep a human in the loop. Written for security engineers, SOC analysts, detection engineers, and architects.
