About the internship
Every website, application and automation Firmelist builds has to be secure. As a Cybersecurity Intern, you will support our team in finding and fixing security weaknesses — reviewing applications against common vulnerabilities, assisting with assessments, and helping improve how securely we build and run software.
All testing is done only on systems we are authorised to test, in lab environments or under supervision, following a clear scope. You will learn how security work is done responsibly and documented professionally.
