What is IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference)?
IDOR (insecure direct object reference) is an access control flaw that leaks data when apps skip authorization checks. See how IDOR works and how to prevent it.
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 tokenomics, short for “token economics,” is the study and management of how large language models (LLMs) and other generative AI systems produce, price, and consume tokens.
A penetration testing (or pen test) methodology is a structured, repeatable framework that governs how ethical hackers plan, execute, document, and report a pen testing engagement.
API protection is how you discover, harden, and monitor APIs so attackers cannot abuse application logic or data. Learn risks, controls, and practices.
Watch how Wiz turns instant visibility into rapid remediation.
A cloud access security broker (CASB) functions as a central policy enforcement point positioned between users and cloud-based applications.
Broken access control lets users exceed their permissions and ranks as OWASP A01. Learn the types, real examples, and how to prevent it in code and cloud.
Kubernetes networking gives every pod a unique IP on a flat network so pods, services, and external traffic communicate without NAT. Learn how it works.
API gateways route, authenticate, and control traffic between clients and backend services. Learn how they work, their benefits, and their security limits.
API testing verifies that your APIs return the right data, perform well, and stay secure. Learn the types, tools, testing process, and key best practices.
Container escape is when an attacker breaks out of a container’s isolation to gain unauthorized access to the host system.
AI guardrails (also called LLM guardrails or GenAI guardrails) are preventive safety controls that constrain an AI system’s behavior within defined policy boundaries.
External vulnerability scanning is a way to find weaknesses in your public-facing systems by testing them from outside your network. This means you see your environment the same way an attacker on the internet would see it.
Open-source software (OSS) software composition analysis (SCA) tools are specialized solutions designed to analyze an application's open-source components and dependencies.
OSINT tools help security teams map attack surfaces and monitor dark web exposure. Compare top tools by category and learn how to choose the right stack.
Software composition analysis gives security and dev teams visibility into open source dependencies, vulnerabilities, and license risk. Learn how SCA works.
Application security testing (AST) is a set of processes designed to detect and address security gaps during the early phases of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). In other words, teams take steps in pre-production to identify and mitigate risks before applications are released into operational environments.
SecDevOps is essentially DevOps with an emphasis on moving security further left. DevOps involves both the development team and the operations team in one process to improve deployment performance and service customers faster.
Managed cloud security helps organizations scale protection across cloud environments by outsourcing key operations like detection, response, and compliance monitoring.
Uncover the top cloud security issues affecting organizations today. Learn how to address cloud security risks, threats, and challenges to protect your cloud environment.
