The process will be conducted in person in early July 2026. We are looking for students who will be entering their final year of undergraduate or master's studies in September and have an interest in developing professionally in this area.

What type of projects will you participate in?

You will participate in practical industrial cybersecurity activities such as: OT risk analysis and vulnerability identification in ICS environments. Support in industrial network hardening and segmentation projects (ISA/IEC 62443, Purdue Model). Basic supervision of events and alerts from OT/ICS monitoring platforms (OT IDS, industrial SIEM). Evaluation of industrial assets (PLC, RTU, HMI, SCADA) and configuration analysis. Preparation of technical reports and documentation for clients in the industrial, energy, transport, or production sectors.

What will you do?

In OT Operations: review basic alerts from OT/ICS sensors (industrial IDS, OT network anomalies). Classify and document events following specific OT playbooks. Support incident investigations in segregated networks, under the supervision of senior analysts. Contribute to the identification of anomalous patterns in industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, S7, OPC...). Collaborate on recommended hardening or segmentation tasks (where applicable and under supervision).
In OT Analysis and Evaluation: participate in basic OT security assessments: architecture analysis, asset inventory, and configuration review in PLC/HMI/SCADA. Support the creation of OT network maps and topologies under the Purdue model. Perform technical OSINT searches to enrich OT threat analysis.
In Team and Learning: participate in internal training on ICS/SCADA, Purdue, ISA/IEC 62443, OT protocols, etc. Attend team dailies and knowledge transfer sessions. Learn the use of specific OT tools: Nozomi, Claroty, Dragos, or other similar platforms. Protocol analysis tools (Wireshark with industrial decoders).
