Your Toolkit:

• Currently enrolled in a full-time Bachelor’s or Master’s degree program in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Data Science or a related technical field with an expected graduation date in Winter 2027/Spring 2028
• Strong interest in cybersecurity, security research, threat intelligence, or machine learning
• Exposure to threat intelligence concepts such as IOCs, attacker campaigns, malware, vulnerabilities, or MITRE ATT&CK
• Basic understanding of networking concepts and protocols such as TCP/IP, DNS, and HTTP/HTTPS
• Familiarity with Python, SQL/KQL, notebooks, or similar programming and data-analysis tools, with an interest in analyzing security and network telemetry
• Ability to research technical topics and clearly communicate findings
• Curiosity about how attackers operate and how their behaviors can be detected

Nice to Have:

Experience in these areas is helpful, but not required:

• Experience working with network or security telemetry, logs, or large datasets
• Familiarity with Python data analysis tools such as pandas or NumPy
• Basic understanding of machine learning or statistical techniques, such as classification, clustering, or anomaly detection
• Experience experimenting with ML libraries such as scikit-learn, PyTorch, or similar frameworks
• Interest in applying machine learning to cybersecurity problems such as behavioral analysis or threat detection
• Participation in CTFs, security competitions, academic research, open-source projects, or personal security projects

You don’t need to already be an expert in cybersecurity or machine learning. We’re looking for students with strong technical fundamentals, curiosity, and an eagerness to learn across disciplines. Coursework, research projects, CTFs, ML projects, open-source contributions, or independent security research can all demonstrate relevant experience.

What You’ll Gain:

During the internship, you’ll have opportunities to:

• Build practical experience in security research, threat intelligence, and adversary analysis.
• Develop a deeper understanding of network security, security telemetry, and threat detection.
• Learn how to investigate emerging threats and translate research into detection and product ideas.
• Gain exposure to emerging approaches, including machine learning and data-driven security techniques, where relevant.
• Work alongside experienced threat researchers and learn how security research operates in a real-world cybersecurity organization.

You’ll finish the internship with experience investigating real security problems and understanding how threat research, security telemetry, and machine learning can work together to identify malicious behavior and improve detection capabilities.
