SOC Internship Program

Ingalls' SOC Internship Program serves as a springboard for passionate individuals seeking to dive into the world of cybersecurity. Our program provides aspiring professionals and students with practical training and invaluable resources, equipping them with the necessary tools to establish a promising career in the field.

 

Take your first step toward a career in cybersecurity.

Finding hands-on opportunities to learn about cybersecurity can be tough, and there isn’t one set path into this field. The industry needs organizations that are willing and able to train and equip the next generation of cybersecurity leaders, in order to secure our organizations, businesses, and nation — and that's where Ingalls comes in. We see the cybersecurity skills gap as an opportunity and are eager to be an on-ramp for those who want to learn and find a pathway into the constantly evolving, thrilling world of online security.

Our internship program follows a "Crawl-Walk-Run" approach to guarantee success. Through a hands-on and structured methodology, interns can gain invaluable experience as a cybersecurity analyst while enhancing their knowledge in a positive environment. This prepares them for a career in cybersecurity.

Crawl

To start, each intern will have a learning path to reinforce core concepts in networking and security, while shadowing full-time analysts through their investigations.

Walk

As the learning path becomes more in depth, interns will be able to do investigations and write up tickets with direct supervision from a full-time analyst (reverse shadow).

Run

In this phase, interns are assigned cases to work on their own that will be reviewed on a higher level without a shadow. Interns are also  introduced to additional activities that take place in the SOC.

Why Did We Create a SOC Internship Program
 

Why Did We Create a SOC Internship Program?

Our internship program was designed to pave the way for those who have been accumulating knowledge but may be lacking the technical experience or guidance needed in the cybersecurity field. Our program offers a stimulating and fulfilling environment, where hands-on learning can grant an advantage in future interviews and cultivate productive and captivating networking with other professionals. While securing a position with us is not a guarantee, we have seen exceptional results with this approach, as a number of our former interns have been welcomed into the Ingalls family after completing their internship.
