The European Network for Cyber Security (ENCS) is looking for new interns to join its team.
 

Interns work on a project to learn and gain experience in smart grid security. They receive guidance and support from experienced ENCS employees working in the area of their internship.

 

ENCS is looking for researchers in the following areas:

• Smart Meter testing including the development of new test tools and methods, and the investigation of new types of vulnerabilities.
• Intrusion detection for industrial control systems (in particular SCADA systems used in smart grids) with a focus on analyzing different sources of security data, such as network traffic and event logs.

Open applications on other topics are also welcome. We are always looking for candidates for different types of internships in our Testing, Consulting or Research department.
