THE PROJECTS:
CyberCore is offering multiple analysis positions for interested students with an overarching goal of supporting a project related to bolstering the cybersecurity posture of control systems used throughout the energy sector. For each position, the intern will be asked to:
- Gain a fundamental understanding of cybersecurity issues affecting the operational technology (OT) environment
- Work with a team of cyber researchers, engineers, and threat analysts to support initiatives focused on enhancing cybersecurity within the energy sector.
The interns chosen for this position will gain an understanding of the analytic discipline and draw from open-source information to contribute to technical reports, briefings, white papers, strategies, or other products. The interns in this position are expected to distill complex technical information into concise written reports and briefings for non-technical audiences and should therefore possess either in-depth knowledge of engineering practices (electrical, mechanical, or power) or computer science principles. This position requires strong communication skills (both written and verbal), a willingness to learn new ways of thinking, and a thirst for continuous learning.
