JOB DESCRIPTION
We are looking for a part-time and/or full-time research intern for our CyberThreat Early Warning Project, for Fall and Winter. This is an unpaid remote position.
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, cyber threats to medical institutions have been growing steadily, as threat actors attempt to exploit the overwhelmed healthcare system. With this in mind, our latest project is devoted to notifying over 500 subscribed customers (primarily in healthcare) regarding the most prolific cyber threats. We are looking for an aspiring, motivated, and self-organized researcher to assist in this project, in addition to engaging in analysis and the production of daily intelligence reports on subjects such as data breaches, fraud schemes, ransomware extortion, APT group activities, and state-sponsored cyber operations.
Extensive training and instruction will be provided by members of our intelligence team. We emphasize an investigative mindset, the ability to write concise and clear business reports, and a high level of initiative. Prior technical skills are not required.
