The Cybersecurity Analyst Internship Program is an 8-week, immersive training designed to equip interns with essential skills and knowledge in the field of cybersecurity. The program begins with an introduction to the cybersecurity lab environment, fundamental networking concepts, and the basics of Linux and Windows operating systems. Interns then progress to learn about password cracking basics, firewall configuration, VPN setup, and encryption techniques. This initial phase lays the groundwork for more advanced topics and hands-on experience.

In the subsequent weeks, interns delve into threats and vulnerabilities, covering malware analysis, phishing identification, network scanning, and basic penetration testing. The program then shifts to defensive cybersecurity with tasks in intrusion detection systems, security patch management, log analysis, and incident response simulations. Advanced security practices are also explored, including advanced malware analysis, ethical hacking simulations, web application security, and cloud security basics.

The final stages of the internship focus on practical application and real-world relevance. Interns are introduced to cybersecurity tools and technologies, including SIEM tools, network forensics, and security automation. They also analyze real-world cybersecurity incidents, understand compliance and legal aspects, develop security policies, and conduct risk assessments. The program concludes with a comprehensive capstone project, allowing interns to apply and showcase the skills they have acquired throughout the internship.
