We bring together deep industry expertise, cutting-edge technology, and bold thinking to deliver outcomes that matter.
You'll join our Cyber Defense practice — the team on the front line of detecting, investigating, and responding to threats against our clients' most critical assets. This is where cybersecurity gets real: live environments, active threats, and the tools and techniques used to stay ahead of them.
Support Security Operations Center (SOC) activities including threat monitoring, alert triage, and incident escalation workflows
Assist in threat intelligence gathering and analysis to help identify emerging attack patterns and vulnerabilities
Contribute to incident response activities — helping document, investigate, and track security events through to resolution
Support vulnerability assessments and security testing activities across client environments
Work within blended onshore and offshore defense teams, gaining exposure to how 24/7 cyber defense operates at enterprise scale.
What You'll Need
Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's program in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or Computer Engineering — in the last year of their university studies
Foundational understanding of networking, threat landscapes, and security monitoring concepts
Detail-oriented and analytical — able to spot patterns and think critically under pressure
Clear communicator — comfortable documenting findings and working across technical teams
Bonus Points
Hands-on exposure to SIEM tools (e.g. Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, or similar)
Familiarity with threat intelligence frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK
Coursework or self-study in ethical hacking, digital forensics, or incident response
Interest in certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CEH, or Blue Team Level 1 (BTL1)
