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)
