Tetra Defense, the Madison-based cybersecurity software development and incident response firm announces an impactful addition to their TetraU education program. The Tetra Rotational Apprenticeship in Cybersecurity (TRAC) program is a year-long, paid apprenticeship that offers a unique opportunity for newcomers and aspiring security professionals, providing a new path for those who might not have otherwise had the opportunity to build a cybersecurity career.

Tetra’s Director of Education, Joseph Perry sees TRAC as “an essential component to lowering the barriers to entry for newcomers in cybersecurity and maintaining the gold standard established by Tetra’s team.” Already in association with several recent graduates and their institutions, TRAC will provide apprentices four twelve-week rotations within the Cyber Defense Operations, Restoration and Remediation, Forensic Analysis, and Incident Response teams respectively. During each rotation, apprentices will learn through classroom training, lab practice, on-the-job training, and shadowing.
