Sopra Steria Benelux Security Operation Center is a Cybersecurity expertise center operating several security solutions as Managed services. The team has implemented a Lab environment which is meant for several R&D purposes:

Testing new Security Solutions/Products
Developing Hacking knowledge
Train on existing SOC Tools
Enhance global detection mechanisms or correlation rules

Several internship projects are available using this platform:

Unified Infrastructure: Today's system engineers are the best security engineers of tomorrow. One of the most important mission of a Security engineer is to have an exhaustive view on his customers IT environments at all technical layers. This project has the objective of implementing coherent configuration everywhere in the Lab from the On-Premises servers to the Cloud deployment and configuring all services that are part of a Core infrastructure.

Automated Pentesting: Penetration activities are quite costly for customers and difficult to deliver As A Service. Some products on the market might solve this issue by giving the ability to run such technical audits in a recursive manner, especially to control that critical findings are patched/fixed in a timely manner. The intern will have to deploy related products in the Cybersecurity Lab and perform a comparison of available features.

Hacking Scenarios Validation: Detection scenarios are implemented by the SOC in the SIEM platform. Enhancement of those scenarios as well as their validation in various use cases is a recurrent task of SOC activities. In this project, the intern will have to work on test cases where:

He must execute the attack as described in the scenario
He must identify how to log/trace the attack activity
He must collect this information using the SIEM agent (or using standard collection mechanism)
He must validate that the SIEM correctly alerts the SOC team once the attack is observed

The Ideal Candidate:

Highly motivated individual with a genuine enthusiasm for cyber security and technology;
Sound understanding of cyber security principles and best practices;
