YOUR FIRST INVESTIGATION
Inspect a policy, question its permissions and explain your decision. Explore this representative mission workspace before your first build.
See How It WorksInvestigate. Decide. Show your work.
{ "Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": "*" }Broad access detected. Compare permissions with the workload's business needs.
What evidence would you examine before changing this policy?
CLOSE THE EXPERIENCE GAP
Courses can explain cloud security. The harder question comes later: “What have you actually built, investigated or secured?”
Move beyond tutorial dependency. Practise working with incomplete information, explaining a security decision and showing the evidence behind it.
A WORKSPACE FOR THE WORK
A learning environment built around investigation, judgement and a solution you can explain.
Read policies, inspect configurations and connect observations to real business needs.
Make defensible decisions in realistic cloud security situations, one focused mission at a time.
Keep a private record of the policies, findings and recommendations behind your work.
HOW THE FORGE WORKS
Set your goal and choose a published learning path, from cloud foundations to focused security practice.
Meet a business, a security problem and the constraints that make the work interesting.
Inspect logs, identities, permissions and configurations. Separate evidence from assumptions.
Explain your decisions and create a defensible solution. Use contextual coaching and rubric feedback to strengthen your reasoning.
Organise investigation notes, policies and recommendations into private evidence and portfolio records.
INSIDE A PROJECT / NOVACORE TECHNOLOGIES
An internal audit finds a service identity with more access than its reporting workload needs. Your task: establish the facts, assess the blast radius and recommend a least-privilege change.
Representative fictional scenario. Every recommendation should explain the tradeoffs, validation and rollback.
Map the workload, its purpose and its trust relationships.
Compare granted access with business needs and observed activity.
Propose scoped permissions, tests, monitoring and rollback.
MEET KAFFY / AI COACH
Kaffy is designed to help you investigate, explore an idea and challenge your reasoning. The goal is a decision you understand and can defend.
Contextual coaching in your mission workspaceEVIDENCE + ASSESSMENT
Capture screenshots, configurations, diagrams, policies, security findings, investigation notes and written recommendations. Your work records how you reached a decision.
Structured assessment is designed around technical accuracy, security reasoning, investigation, decision-making, remediation and communication. Submit private evidence, review criterion feedback and strengthen your next attempt.
Skills demonstrated
Example only. Real results come from assessed work. Sharing unlocks after your first paid Forge Credit purchase and requires your deliberate choice.

Build the judgement to secure a modern cloud environment.
Foundational · Cloud Security
Investigate realistic security scenarios, make defensible decisions, and build evidence of your work. Begin with identity and access, then develop your understanding of network boundaries, visibility, and incident response.
Develop practical expertise in securing cloud identities, evaluating permissions, designing least-privilege access, protecting privileged accounts, implementing workload identity controls and investigating identity-based security threats.
Specialisation · Identity and Access Management
Develop practical expertise in securing cloud identities, evaluating permissions, designing least-privilege access, protecting privileged accounts, implementing workload identity controls and investigating identity-based security threats. Specialisation. Intermediate to Advanced. Recommended prerequisite: Cloud Security Foundations or equivalent knowledge, not an enrolment requirement. All exercises use fictional static evidence and require no paid cloud account.
WHEREVER YOU'RE STARTING
Build practical evidence while moving into cloud security.
Connect the theory to realistic security work.
Develop security judgement around cloud environments.
Strengthen investigation, reasoning and communication.
Projects give you room to practise, make decisions, revise your work and explain your thinking. The proof grows from what you do.
FORGE CREDITS
Every new learner starts with 50 welcome Forge Credits, so you can experience The Cloud Forge before paying. When you want to practise more, choose a one-time credit pack that fits how you learn.
Learning path access and saving drafts do not use Forge Credits. Credit-powered actions show their cost before you use them.
Explore The Cloud Forge before making a paid commitment.
Continue to the Console. No credit card required.
For learners who want to keep building after their welcome credits.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
An AI-powered, project-based cloud security learning platform built around realistic projects, practical decisions and evidence of your work. Investigate missions, ask for coaching, submit private evidence and improve your work using rubric feedback.
Learning paths provide structure, but the experience centres on projects and missions. The aim is to explain what you investigated, built and secured, beyond completing videos or quizzes.
You can start as a complete beginner. Onboarding helps select a foundation path from the published catalogue. Individual project briefs explain the environment and expected starting knowledge.
Your preferences can include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or a vendor-neutral approach. Available platform coverage comes from published projects; choosing a preference does not unlock an unpublished cloud lab.
Forge Credits are the platform's internal usage balance for AI coaching, evidence analysis and assessments. New learners receive 50 welcome Forge Credits after onboarding. Optional credit packs are one-time purchases; your current balance is visible in the console.
Catalog browsing, account setup and saving drafts do not spend credits. Coaching, evidence analysis and assessment show their credit cost before you request them. Failed operations release unused reservations; completed evidence analysis can be reused on retry.
Kaffy is a contextual thinking partner: ask for a hint, explore a concept or challenge your reasoning. In a mission, Kaffy uses the brief, relevant artefacts and your saved work to help you investigate. You make and explain the final decision.
Attach screenshots, diagrams, configurations, code, policies, logs, PDFs, notes or reference links to a specific submission attempt. Evidence stays private and submitted files are preserved with the assessment. Remove credentials and confidential information before uploading.
Build and preview your portfolio privately from the start. Your first successful paid Forge Credit purchase permanently unlocks sharing and professional export. You choose Private, Unlisted or Public, select validated projects and optionally include scores, demonstrated skills and reviewed evidence summaries. Your original submissions and uploads remain private.

AI-assisted assessment provides criterion-level feedback on technical accuracy, security reasoning, evidence, next steps and communication. Defined rubric weights, critical minimums and passing thresholds control progression. Uncertain results require human review. This is project skill proof, not vendor certification.
