Assignments may include:

• Learn the role of security architecture within an enterprise cybersecurity program.
• Observe security architecture and risk review activities and learn the questions architects ask when evaluating technology.
• Learn how to read architecture diagrams and recognize components such as users, systems, networks, integrations, data flows, and security boundaries.
• Review existing security reference architecture templates and supporting guidance from the perspective of someone learning to use them.
• Research common technology and security architecture patterns and summarize what you learn.
• Compare example designs with documented security requirements or reference patterns under the guidance of a security architect.
• Help create or improve diagrams, documentation, checklists, summaries, and other reusable security architecture materials.
• Discuss observations and questions with cybersecurity and technology team members.
• Document assigned work
• Communicate technical topics clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Develop and deliver a final presentation summarizing your assigned projects, observations, and what you learned during the internship.

What you’ll learn

• How security architecture reviews fit into technology projects and risk decisions.
• How architects think about identity, networks, applications, cloud services, integrations, data flows, and security controls.
