Areas of placement may include, but are not limited to:

• Cyber Security Defense Ops - Threat: The Detection team focuses on threat intelligence gathering, enrichment, correlation. The information gathered by intel is used to feed the detection engineering team, who are responsible for analyzing the log data, the intelligence, and building detection signatures for alerting. The hunting team proactively hunts through the environment and log data looking for the abnormal, anomalous behavior that can be associated with actor techniques. The hunting team gathers findings from their hunts and provides the feedback to detection and intelligence. This is a crucial piece in identifying and alerting on additional tactics and techniques used by threat actors. Hunting also provides insight into what an alert or signature might trigger. The threat intelligence team aggregates this data and performs additional analysis. It is important that the data is reviewed, and additional context provided, such as, severity, confidence level, source, date, count of indicator, and if it is known to be associated with any suspicious activity. Internal alerts and incidents that are generated as a result can then be fed back into the lifecycle for further enrichment, correlation, and association. The intelligence team can begin to analyze and make connections between our internal data and the information that is known about a specific threat or threat actor. This information is also useful to identify campaigns against the enterprise. The intern will be supporting the Detection team and will have the ability to work on threat intelligence, detection engineering, and threat hunting projects. A few of these projects will include developing intelligence requirements, enhancing threat hunting workflow and collaboration, developing emerging threat detection capabilities, and alert validation and testing to drive higher fidelity detections.
