Cyber Defense Academy

Entry opportunities for computer science graduates in the world of cybersecurity.

What is the Cyber Defense Academy?

The Cyber Defence Academy is an internal one-year training programme at Swiss Post Cybersecurity aimed specifically at IT apprenticeship graduates who want to focus their future attention on the cybersecurity growth market. The training focuses on “threat detection”, where customer systems are checked for threats on a daily basis. Events are identified and analysed using our “Cyber Defence Platform”. In the event of suspicious activities, a security alert is generated which you then process. You have experienced colleagues on hand throughout the entire training period, because as you know, no master has yet fallen from the sky. The four-eyes principle guarantees optimal security for companies, people and systems.
