Discover Cybersecurity at Telstra!

Welcome to the Telstra Cybersecurity Program! We are so excited to have you here!

Our heritage is proudly Australian, but we’re creating a global footprint. With a workforce of employees across more than 20 countries, we’re working towards our vision of becoming a world-class technology company that empowers people to connect.

During this program, you will get the opportunity to step into the shoes of a Telstra team member and complete tasks that replicate the work that our Cybersecurity team does every day. You’ll learn how to communicate, mitigate and reflect on a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.

We hope this program provides a great resource for you to up-skill and strengthen your resume as you explore career options and a potential career at Telstra!

This program is self-paced. It takes approximately 1-2 hours to complete.
