Vedere Labs Cyber Security Internship

Vedere Labs Cyber Security Internship

Vedere Labs is the cybersecurity research arm of Forescout Technologies. “Vedere” is an Italian verb that means to see, understand analyze. This word describes exactly the mission of the team. At Vedere Labs, our researchers focus on threat and vulnerability research with the goals of improving the cyber security posture of our customers and the community at large.

We are currently looking for talented and motivated students that want to start their career in one of the most active and renowned cyber security groups that focused on IoT/OT and IoMT.

What We Do

Conducting an Internship at Vedere Labs gives you the opportunity of working with cutting-edge threat research to understand major trends and predict the next big thing. You will also be able to work on enhancing the security of our global customers and partners, operating in various industries, including healthcare, financial, utilities, manufacturing, and entertainment.

The internships will take place in our office in Eindhoven. Our internship projects last for a minimum period of 5 months where the intern will work full time as an integrated team member.

We run two sessions of internship:

(1) Spring Session: starting in January/February 

(2) Fall Session: starting in September 

The internship projects available focus on a variety of areas including:

• Threat Intelligence: extract and correlate Threat Intelligence data to generate useful insights for the community as visible on our Global Cyber Intelligence Dashboard
• Threat Research/Malware Analysis: understand the behavior of malware targeting OT networks or leveraging IoT devices for propagation. 

During your internship, you will have the opportunity to engage with product management and engineering teams as well as our customers, to understand their problems ahead of time and bring to life ideas that will solve real challenges. You will also get the opportunity to work with our global teams (we have offices in Dallas, Ottawa, and London) and with the universities and research institutions we collaborate with.

Finally, your journey with Vedere Labs might start as an intern but can continue by following one of the many career paths we offer. Over the years, we successfully graduated tens of students, and many of them are now successful colleagues!
