WHY A LIVE DOSSIER BEATS A CERTIFICATE

Certs Say You Know It.
Your Dossier Proves You Did It.

Anyone can pass a multiple-choice exam. A SentriNix dossier is a timestamped, cryptographically verified record of you diagnosing and fixing a real production outage — link it on your resume or LinkedIn.

Everything You Need to Know

How does the Live-Fire Exam work?

Unlike Study Mode which provides step-by-step SOP runbooks, Live-Fire Mode hides the answer key completely. You receive an active ticket description, real-time alert logs, and an active 20-minute timer to identify the root cause and apply declarative fixes.

How is my proof-of-work dossier verified?

When our automated audit engine verifies your solution inside your ephemeral pod, it generates a unique cryptographic certificate hash (e.g., SNX-84F2A1) and publishes your timestamped Root Cause Analysis to your permanent public verification URL.

Do I need to install any local VMs or Docker?

Zero setup required. Everything runs inside ephemeral, hardened Linux container pods streamed directly to your browser via WebSockets and high-performance xterm terminals.

Can companies use SentriNix for candidate screening?

Yes. Our Enterprise Screening tier allows hiring managers and technical recruiters to issue timed assessment links and mirror candidate terminal sessions live via the Proctor Command Center.

USMC VETERAN

Antonio Betton

Founder & CEO, SentriNix

10+ years in enterprise IT systems administration and cybersecurity leadership, including executive-level incident response experience — SentriNix is the live-fire training ground I built because I couldn't find one.

Every ticket in this platform is drawn from real production failure patterns. No multiple-choice quizzes — just the diagnostic pressure of a live outage, verified.

The Experience Paradox doesn't care what you led.It cares what you fixed.
