Eligibility

• Fresh graduate with a technical undergraduate or postgraduate qualification.
• Educational background in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related engineering field.
• No prior full-time professional work experience. Internships and academic projects are explicitly accepted and are not counted as professional experience.
• Ability to commit to the complete 12-month apprenticeship.
• Fluent English language skills.

Soft Skills

• Curiosity and creativity when exploring complex systems and cybersecurity problems.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify subtle anomalies.
• Adaptability and willingness to learn across different cybersecurity domains.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
• Interest in understanding how complex systems can be protected.

Work Mode & Location

The apprenticeship is based in Bangalore, India. The supplied JD does not specify a remote or hybrid arrangement, so the configured work mode is onsite.

Who Should Apply

This opportunity is intended for fresh technical graduates with an academic background in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related engineering field who are interested in cybersecurity. Candidates should have foundational knowledge of security concepts, operating systems, cloud security, and scripting, along with a strong willingness to learn.

Candidates with internships or academic project experience can apply because the JD specifically excludes these from its definition of prior full-time professional work experience.

Program Duration

The apprenticeship is planned as a 12-month program with an expected start in May 2026. The role provides practical exposure across security research, security development, cloud security, SOC operations, detection engineering, and cybersecurity R&D.
