Cyber Security Internship in Valasaravakkam-Shanthi IT Solution

 Looking to launch a cybersecurity career from Valasaravakkam? A focused internship at Shanthi IT Solution helps build real-world skills in threat detection, incident response, and security governance while working alongside practitioners on industry-relevant projects.

Why this internship

• Hands-on learning: Apply core security concepts in live scenarios like log analysis, basic threat hunting, and vulnerability remediation workflows to build confidence and portfolio-ready outcomes.

• Guided by practitioners: Learn processes used in modern security teams—ticketing, documentation, and reporting—so internship experience translates directly to entry-level roles.

• Career traction: Structured project work, feedback, and interview prep help convert training into employability in SOC Analyst, Junior Security Analyst, or GRC Assistant tracks.

What you’ll learn

• Security foundations: CIA triad, authN/authZ, network layers, common attack vectors, and the incident response lifecycle.

• Tools and workflows: Intro to SIEM dashboards, log pipelines, basic EDR usage, and vulnerability scanning methodologies.

• Governance basics: Security policies, asset inventories, risk registers, and compliance-aware documentation habits.

Sample projects

• SIEM mini use cases: Create and tune basic correlation rules and alert triage playbooks.

• Vulnerability scan to fix: Run a scan, prioritize findings, propose remediation, and validate.

• Phishing analysis: Classify samples, extract indicators, and document mitigations and awareness tips.

Who should apply

• Final-year students, fresh graduates, and career switchers with interest in security, basic networking knowledge, and familiarity with Linux/Windows.

• Candidates comfortable with documentation, curiosity-driven troubleshooting, and learning from logs and alerts.

Prerequisites

• Basics: Networking fundamentals, OS concepts, and command line.

• Nice-to-have: Python basics for parsing, familiarity with cloud fundamentals, and common security frameworks (NIST/ISO/OWASP).

Outcomes

• Portfolio: 2–3 documented mini-projects showcasing alert triage, vulnerability management, and policy documentation.

• Certifications pathway: Readiness for entry-level certs such as CompTIA Security+ or vendor foundations.

• Employability: Resume aligned to SOC L1/Junior Analyst roles, with STAR-format bullet points and measurable impact.

How to prepare

• Brush up on networking (ports/protocols), HTTP/HTTPS, logs (Windows Event, syslog), and common attack chains.

• Practice: Capture-the-flag labs, free SIEM simulators, and safe malware analysis sandboxes for pattern recognition.

• Document: Keep a simple security lab journal—objectives, steps, findings, and lessons learned.

Application tips

• Tailor the resume to security: highlight labs, GitHub write-ups, or hackathon/problem-solving evidence.

• Be specific in the statement of purpose: mention learning goals (e.g., SIEM alerting, IR playbooks) and availability.

• Ask about structure: duration, mentorship cadence, tool exposure, and assessment criteria.

Career support

• Resume refinement: action verbs, metrics, and project impact.

• Mock interviews: fundamentals, scenario-based IR questions, and log-reading drills.

• Placement guidance: role targeting (SOC, GRC, IT Risk), networking, and practical next steps after internship.

Next steps

• Shortlist goals: choose two skill themes (e.g., SIEM + vulnerability management) to focus on in depth.

• Prepare a one-page portfolio: summarize labs, tools used, and outcomes.

• Apply and schedule a discussion: confirm timelines, expectations, and deliverables before onboarding.
