Hack The Box unites with Solutions³ LLC to empower the next generation of cyber talent through technical training

Hack The Box, the leading platform for building attack-ready teams and organizations, is proud to announce its partnership with Solutions³ LLC, an award-winning provider of technology services to the public sector, for the 2025 Summer Cybersecurity Internship Program, also known as the “Ten +1 Program.”

Committed to redefining cyber workforce development, expanding training accessibility, and

strengthening the cybersecurity talent pipeline, Hack The Box supports the program by providing full access to structured learning paths, Capture The Flag challenges, and mentorship aligned to key offensive and defensive cybersecurity roles.

This internship represents a forward-leaning workforce development initiative designed to lower entry barriers for early-career professionals, reduce the talent gap, and produce hands-on-ready junior cybersecurity talent.

Now officially underway, the immersive 11-week program has welcomed nine outstanding interns—selected from over 1,100 applicants—representing five New Jersey universities. Participants embark on a real-world learning journey that covers cyber essentials, risk management, and incident response.

Hack The Box enhances this experience by equipping interns with cutting-edge training, technical guidance from subject matter experts, and exposure to real-world security scenarios. These elements ensure that participants gain the practical skills needed to contribute from day one, shortening ramp-up time and improving future cyber readiness.

“This partnership represents a shared investment in developing the next generation of cyber defenders and fueling the cybersecurity talent pipeline,” said Kevin Ireland, Deputy of Worldwide Federal and SLED at Hack The Box. “By combining Hack The Box’s hands-on, real-life-based training with Solutions³’s deep industry expertise, we’re helping bridge the critical gap between academic preparation and operational cyber defense.”

“We’re proud to partner with Hack The Box to deliver a high-impact, experiential learning journey for our interns—one that not only builds technical acumen but also instills the professional mindset required in today’s cybersecurity landscape,” said Mike Battistella, President and CTO at Solutions³ LLC.
