Areas of placement may include, but are not limited to:
• Cyber Security Defense Ops: The Detection team focuses on threat intelligence gathering, enrichment, correlation. The information gathered by intel is used to feed the detection engineering team, who are responsible for analyzing the log data, the intelligence, and building detection signatures for alerting. The hunting team proactively hunts through the environment and log data looking for abnormal, anomalous behavior that can be associated with actor techniques. The hunting team gathers findings from their hunts and provides feedback to detection and intelligence. This is a crucial piece in identifying and alerting additional tactics and techniques used by threat actors. Hunting also provides insight into what an alert or signature might trigger. The intern will support the Detection team and can work on threat intelligence, detection engineering, and threat hunting projects. A few of these projects will include developing intelligence requirements, enhancing threat hunting workflow and collaboration, developing emerging threat detection capabilities, and alert validation and testing to drive higher fidelity detections.

The intern will gain exposure across a broad range of technical and creative disciplines. We currently are involved in a business project that include DreamWorks Animation network re-architecture deployment that will integrate and consolidate the separate NBCU and DreamWorks domain networks into a unified NBCU Global Network Distribution and Services management plane. Additionally, we have been steadily deploying Cyber Security tooling and governance into the Illumination Entertainment studios.
