Role Summary

This 6‑month internship provides hands-on exposure to cybersecurity operations across Security Operations (SOC), infrastructure security, identity management, and GRC. You will work on real operational tasks with mentor guidance, following a structured plan with clear deliverables and measurable outcomes.

Key Responsibilities & Work Environment

  • Triage security alerts under supervision, validate findings, and determine closure or escalation.

  • Gather, analyze, and document evidence from logs, endpoints, and network sources with clear case notes.

  • Follow established runbooks consistently and propose practical improvements to strengthen processes.

  • Support infrastructure security activities, including system hardening, vulnerability tracking, and remediation verification.

  • Identify monitoring gaps and contribute to detection improvement ideas with consideration of false positives.

  • Apply identity and access management principles, including least privilege and role-based access.

  • Support access reviews and prepare audit-ready evidence on user access and approvals.

  • Assist in maintaining privileged access controls and ensuring proper documentation.

  • Contribute to GRC activities, including control-to-evidence mapping, basic risk documentation, and audit traceability.

  • Produce weekly deliverables such as triage write-ups, runbook improvements, verification reports, and access review documentation.

  • Maintain a structured repository of notes, templates, and finalized artifacts.

  • Deliver a final capstone project that provides practical value to the team (e.g., detection improvement or runbook enhancement).

  • Work in a live operational environment with supervision, defined escalation paths, and possible SOC shift exposure.

  • Adhere strictly to confidentiality, approved tools, and data handling requirements.

Requirements & Preferred Profile

  • Currently enrolled in a degree/diploma in IT, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field.

  • Basic understanding of networking (IP, DNS, HTTP) and operating systems (Windows or Linux).

  • Strong written communication and ability to produce clear, structured documentation.

  • Ability to follow processes consistently and apply feedback.

  • Exposure to security concepts such as monitoring, vulnerability management, identity controls, or basic scripting is advantageous.

  • Interest in operational work requiring accuracy, consistency, and evidence-based thinking.
