The Experience
You Don't Take a Class. You Take a Job.
From day one, you become an employee of WRIX Manufacturing, a fictional enterprise with real business problems. You receive a department, a manager, a role, an email, a workstation, corporate policies, and a steady stream of security tickets and incidents.
Every week you solve real business security problems the way a Security Engineer would. By the end of Day One, you already feel like a Security Engineer, not a student.
Primary Differentiator
Your Own Enterprise Security Lab
Every student receives a dedicated Microsoft environment to build, break, restore, experiment, troubleshoot, and rebuild, without fear of damaging anyone else's environment.
A dedicated Microsoft 365 Business Premium account (e.g. student01@wrixacademy.com)
A dedicated Windows 11 Enterprise Azure Virtual Desktop

Weekly Curriculum
Six Weeks. 36 Enterprise Security Problems.
