Cyber War Academy ’23 Applications Are Now Open!

In addition to our engineers who provide consultancy services to the most important public and private companies in our country, we continue to bring qualified experts into the sector each year by training many students through our “in-house” programme, the Cyber War Academy. We are now accepting your applications for this year’s Cyber War Academy internship programme, which we have specially prepared for university students who wish to pursue a career in the field of cyber security.

As Privia Security, alongside the consultancy, training and R&D activities we provide in the field of cyber security, we offer the Cyber War Academy long-term internship programme aimed at the cyber security, software and design ecosystem to our valued university students. At this academy, you can pursue a career in either offensive or defensive areas, and we also offer special opportunities for our students in the software and design fields through our dedicated programmes.

In order to provide a solution to one of our country’s most important problems, the shortage of qualified human resources, we train many students every year through our “in-house” programme and bring them into the sector.

As Privia Security, we have developed the PriviaHub Cyber Range product with our domestic capital and the valued experts of our country in our team, providing training, simulation and exercise environments to the cyber defence forces of the world’s leading armies. At the Cyber War Academy, students will have the opportunity to use our virtual environments that will allow them to gain practical experience on corporate infrastructure topologies and in near-realistic simulation environments using PriviaHub.

In this regard, we are thrilled to announce that applications are now open for the Privia Security Cyber War Academy programme we have launched.

Cyber War Academy

As Privia Security, thanks to the in-house programme we open regularly every year, we step outside classic internship approaches and offer applied training, providing our students with real hacking experience and applications in defence processes within simulation environments. The main purpose of this programme is to train qualified experts and bring them into the sector.

Our internship programme consists of 3 different stages.

• The first stage is a 3-month basic internship
• The second stage is 6-12 months of in-depth training
• The third stage offers a part-time work opportunity until education is completed

If you are interested in one of the following specialisation areas, you can apply for the Privia Security Cyber War Academy programme.
