Cyber Security Intern

About the role

A Cyber Security intern is sought to protect a cross-platform ecosystem covering web applications, backend services and IoT hardware infrastructure. The intern performs vulnerability assessments, secures communication protocols and works with engineering teams to reduce emerging security risks.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct security audits, assess system vulnerabilities, write structured mitigation plans and work with development teams to fix hardware and software risks.
• Analyze and secure low-level hardware protocols and wireless technologies such as RS485, ZigBee, LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi, custom routers and access point software.
• Help evaluate and configure network security controls, including RADIUS authentication servers and pfSense firewall environments.
• Monitor and mitigate attack vectors such as Man-in-the-Middle, Replay, CSRF and XSS attacks.
• Implement public/private key cryptography suited to low-power devices and microcontrollers.

Required profile

• Strong understanding of cybersecurity principles, network architecture and software/hardware vulnerability management.
• Solid grasp of common attack vectors and embedded cryptography principles.

Required skills

• Familiarity with hardware-level protocols (RS485) and low-power wireless networks (ZigBee, LoRaWAN).
• Experience with security tools such as pfSense and RADIUS.

Candidates must apply through the CM IT Internship Program portal.
