Cybersecurity Apprentice | Security Operations & Infrastructure

Livonia, MI

STACK Cyber is seeking a motivated Cybersecurity Apprentice to join our hands-on training program designed to develop real-world security professionals.

This is a learn-by-doing apprenticeship where you'll gain experience across IT operations, infrastructure, and cybersecurity—working in both MSP and MSSP environments. You won't just study security—you'll actively support and defend real client systems from day one.

What You'll Do

Triage and resolve IT and security tickets in live environments
Monitor systems and investigate alerts (phishing, malware, suspicious activity)
Support endpoint, network, cloud, and identity security controls
Assist with vulnerability remediation and compliance efforts
Work with tools like EDR, SIEM, MFA, backup, and email security platforms
Document findings and contribute to operational improvements

What You'll Learn

Our structured apprenticeship progresses through:

Phase 1: Foundations & Security Help Desk

Build core IT skills while handling real tickets, user issues, and entry-level security events.

Phase 2: Infrastructure & Security Triage

Develop deeper skills in Active Directory, virtualization, networking, and security systems.

Phase 3: Advanced Support & Security Operations

Work on complex systems, incident response, and advanced troubleshooting across production environments.

Why This Program Is Different

You can't secure what you don't understand.

We train cybersecurity professionals by first building strong IT and infrastructure foundations—then layering in security. The result: operators who can actually troubleshoot, investigate, and respond in real environments.
