Spend your transition on the real work. A ten-week internship for service members and their spouses.
Through the DoD SkillBridge program, OSec brings transitioning service members and military spouses onto live offensive security work: hands-on testing alongside senior operators, real client problems, and the mentorship to carry your skills into a civilian security career.
Ten weeks on offensive security, not the sidelines.
OSec is a DoD SkillBridge partner. The internship runs ten weeks, and you spend them on the same work our operators do: testing real environments, learning our methodology, and building the business sense that turns a military skill set into a civilian career. You bring discipline and a way of thinking clearly under pressure that this field needs. We bring the craft, the mentorship, and the room to apply both.
Hands on the real work
You test live client environments beside senior operators, not a lab exercise. The pentesting is real, and so is what rides on it.
Mentorship from operators
You learn the craft from people who do only this — methodology, tooling, and how experienced testers actually think their way through a target.
Business sense, not just skill
Security is a business as much as a discipline. You see how the work gets scoped, delivered, and explained to the people who depend on it.
A path, if it fits
The internship is an honest look, for both sides, at what a career here could be. More than a few of ours started exactly this way.
If you’re transitioning, this is for you.
We hire for how you think, not the acronyms on your record. People from every specialty have made this jump, most of them without a security background when they walked in.
- Every branch of the U.S. military
- Military spouses
- Any background or specialty
- Service members leaving active duty
