Cloud Security
coming soon.
We're building the Cloud Security curriculum now. Four full tracks are already live and free to start.
The Cloud Security track of the Vijilan Cybersecurity Academy is in active development. Cloud moved the perimeter, the tooling and the failure modes. This track will cover the shared-responsibility line, why misconfiguration — not exotic exploits — drives most cloud incidents, and how defenders build detection coverage across infrastructure they do not physically own. 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
- Shared responsibilityWhat the provider secures, what you secure, and the incidents born in the gap.
- Identity & entitlementsCloud IAM, service roles and the sprawl of standing privilege.
- Misconfiguration & posturePublic buckets, open security groups and continuous posture checking.
- Cloud detectionControl-plane logs, workload telemetry and cloud-native alerting.
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
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 freeMaster 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 freeThe 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 freeThe 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.
