🚨 “We’ve Got a Breach!”

Probably not the words anyone wants to hear during a normal workday.

But when you’re learning cybersecurity, it’s exactly the kind of situation you should be prepared for.

The reality is that cyberattacks don’t wait until security teams have finished their training. Threats evolve constantly, and responding effectively requires more than theory. It requires practice.

That’s why I’m excited to share Cyber Genius | Inside the Breach, a free cybersecurity learning experience from Microsoft and Founderz that places you in the middle of a realistic security incident. From the first alert to full resolution, you’ll step through the same types of challenges security professionals face every day.

What you’ll do

🔍 Investigate suspicious alerts and indicators of compromise

🕵️ Hunt down threats across the environment

🛡️ Respond using real-world security workflows and methodologies

☕ Keep your cool while everything is (fictionally) on fire

Why it’s different

This isn’t another course filled with endless slides and passive learning. Instead, you’ll gain hands-on experience by working through a simulated breach scenario at your own pace, developing practical skills as you go.

Once you’ve completed the experience, you’ll have the opportunity to join Microsoft security experts live on 30 September 2026 for additional insights and discussion.
