Analytical shift

Standard shift: read the evidence, make the call

  • A real alert with context: affected asset and account
  • Evidence cards and logs you review one by one
  • An analyst decision with notes explaining your reasoning

Live lab

Live lab: work hands-on inside the network

  • A live network map showing the attack as it moves
  • A terminal per device, with each step tied to its machine
  • Containment and isolation inside a timed response window

Why ShiftZero?

Many trainees study concepts and certifications, then stall at the first real situation: an unclear alert, missing evidence, a decision that needs justification, and notes that must be written professionally. ShiftZero starts exactly from that point.

The idea isn't to memorize the answer, but to learn how to connect evidence to a decision.

How does the experience work?

Five steps from choosing a role to receiving feedback.

  1. Choose a role

    Start from a job role like SOC Analyst, Incident Response Analyst, or GRC Analyst.

  2. Open a ticket

    A practical situation with evidence, context, assets, and a timeline.

  3. Make a decision

    Picking the right answer isn't enough — you need to explain why.

  4. Read the feedback

    Feedback that shows what you noticed and what needed more attention.

  5. Track your progress

    Monitor your growth and share your public skill profile when you're ready.

What makes it different?

  • Situation-based training

    A ticket with context, evidence, and a decision that needs justification, not a direct question.

  • Feedback after every attempt

    Feedback that shows how you think and what can be improved next time.

  • Role-based tracks

    Each track represents a job role, with tickets of increasing difficulty.

  • Shareable skill profile

    A public profile that shows your progress without exposing your answers or notes.

Who is it for?

  • Cybersecurity students

    For those who finished the basics and want to move to practical situations.

  • Those seeking their first job

    Preparation for SOC, GRC, Cloud Security, and Incident Response roles.

  • Academies and trainers

    To add hands-on, ticket-based training with feedback.

  • Those who want to prove their skills

    A public skill profile that shows progress in a shareable way.
