Built by engineers who ship security
CyArt Academy is the learning platform of CyArt, the team behind cyart.io and studio.cyart.io. It teaches security engineering the way it is practised: design the system, build the component, investigate the alert.
Why it exists
Most security training teaches you to break things. Most system design material ignores security. Engineers who build security products, and every engineer who has to defend what they build, fall into the gap between the two.
The Academy fills that gap with four connected courses: security engineering end to end, high-level design of security systems, low-level design of security components, and the analyst skills every engineer needs to understand the alerts their systems raise. Each lesson ends with the follow-up questions an interviewer asks and an answer you can say out loud.
Editorial policy
Primary sources first
Facts about protocols, standards and products are checked against the primary source: the RFC, the NIST or ISO standard, the OWASP project, or the vendor's own documentation. Numbers in worked examples are recalculated, not copied.
Code that runs
Code and configuration samples are written to be correct, not illustrative pseudo-code: inputs validated, failure paths handled, no unbounded loops. Where a sample depends on a version, the lesson says which.
Defence, not attack
Lessons explain how attacks work so you can design against them. We do not publish working exploit chains against real products.
How we use AI tools
We use AI tools to help draft and restructure material, the same way our AI-assisted engineering module teaches. Nothing is published on the strength of a model's output alone: facts, figures and code are checked as above, and anything we could not confirm is flagged in the lesson.
Dated and revised
Lessons record when they were last revised, and that date is published to search engines. When a standard or product changes, we update the lesson rather than leaving stale guidance in place.
Free depth
Every course opens with complete free modules. Pro modules show their first section; the paywall is marked for search engines so the free preview is indexed honestly.
Found a mistake?
Security guidance that is wrong is worse than none. If something in a lesson is incorrect or out of date, tell us through the CyArt community at studio.cyart.io and include the lesson link. Confirmed corrections are fixed and the lesson's revision date is updated.
