The work includes real-life case studies involving attacks on essential services. Interns will learn how to prevent unwanted access and create solid defenses against digital threats.
The virtual internship starts immediately and runs for 12 weeks. Participants will receive a monthly stipend of ₹18,000.
The application window is open until August 6, 2025. The program officially begins on July 14, 2025.
What Interns Will Gain
Interns will work on real projects related to automation and IoT, gaining direct experience with modern tools and threats. This exposure offers a clear look into how cybersecurity works in large industrial settings.
The program also provides networking chances and skill-building opportunities that may lead to a job offer after completion.
A certificate will be awarded at the end of the internship to all participants who meet the program requirements.
Who Can Apply
The virtual internship is open to students and graduates from any background. Candidates must be available for the full 12-week period. The deadline ends on August 06, 2025.
