    Security & Detection Intern

    detectionsocsiemmitre att&ck

    Three-month internship on the security and detection track, working with the SOC team on real detection problems, from the alert to the write-up.

    • Triaged SIEM alerts, separating real incidents from noise and documenting each investigation with the evidence behind the call.
    • Wrote and tuned detection rules for behaviour the default rulesets missed, each mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and tested against simulated attacks.
    • Analysed endpoint and authentication logs to trace suspicious activity across hosts and accounts.
    • Helped automate the handling of high-severity alerts so they reached an analyst without manual steps.
