Listing Description

THE INTERNSHIP:

True entry-level cyber security roles are rare gems, and this internship may just be a diamond in the rough. 

As a Purple Team Intern, you will first receive education about Code42’s technology infrastructure from experts who work with those systems every day. To secure a thing, you must know a thing.

This education will run in parallel with attaining and applying knowledge and skills in security operations by shadowing our Purple Team Analysts and Engineers on red (offensive), blue (defensive), and purple (bit of both) team activities, such as: 

• Tactic, Technique, and Procedure (TTP) exercises and regression tests


• Threat hunts in which we use threat intelligence to identify suspicious activity in the Code42 environment


• Security Event and Incident Response


• Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) engineering, development, and management


• Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) engineering, development, and management


• Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) assisted investigation, detection, and response


• Collaboration with and contribution to Security Awareness efforts

At the end of the internship, our goal is to have you operating independently as a Purple Team Intern with as many guide rails as you need. It is also our goal for you to feel that you have been a contributor to securing the collaboration culture at Code42 through your work.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

Each day, you will be exposed to a new way of looking at the world; your primary job duties are to develop a security mindset, learn as much as you can, and find a role in security where you can thrive.

Other Duties*

• Investigate and respond to daily security events


• Participate in and lead TTP exercises or regression tests


• Participate in threat hunts using security monitoring tools


• Develop SIEM queries


• Contribute to SOAR playbooks and automation

*These are the plans of folks who don't yet understand how you learn, think, or know in this world. These duties are examples of our ideas, but there’s space to explore other areas of security based on what you prefer or preferences you discover during the internship.

WHAT YOU BRING:

• Curiosity - asking questions about the world around you, especially when you are asking because you do not know and wish to learn


• Willingness or enthusiasm to work closely with a small group of security practitioners


• Interest in or existing knowledge of information security as a profession and practice


• Interest in or existing knowledge of modern security tools and what they are used for


• Preference for and enjoyment from working with computers and systems on many different levels, from hardware and software to policy and procedure to the behavioral intersections where humans and computers meet


• Working towards a bachelor’s degree with at least two years of coursework completed


• Ability to work full time (40 hours a week) from May 30th - August 18th (expected dates)
