CaseWork — Mzed Studio case study

Case-based learning platform for LearnCyber Academy — real SOC & GRC tasks, expert feedback, and portfolio proof.

Overview

A case-based learning platform for LearnCyber Academy that streams real security alerts into students' queues so they build a hireable portfolio in 8 weeks.

The problem

People breaking into cybersecurity lack real-world experience and portfolio proof, while employers want practitioners — not course-completers.

What we built

• Streams real Wazuh security detections into students' queue weekly for SOC triage
• Three tracks: SOC Analyst, GRC Analyst, and Cloud Security
• Expert feedback loop where working analysts review completed cases
• Progressive weekly task unlocking across the 8-week program
• Generates real deliverables (reports, configs, assessments) for interviews
• Corporate training offering for organizations
