What’s the purpose of the Cyber Security
Internship program?
To advance Oklahoma’s homeland security
strategies, allow students to gain practical work experience, and help
develop a highly trained security workforce.
Why should our company sponsor an
intern?
The CSEC consortium has been awarded a prestigious Advanced
Technology Education (ATE) Center designation by the National Science
Foundation. This means your company will get a quality intern who can help
you with cyber security—one that you may want to hire permanently. And by
providing an internship to a deserving student, you will also have the
incredible opportunity to help build Oklahoma’s cyber security workforce.
How can an intern help our organization?
Your intern can conduct a security risk
analysis, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing for your
company. He/she can interpret, create, and update enterprise security
policies and procedures. Your intern can also employ appropriate security
tools; design, deploy, harden and secure your voice, data, and wireless
networks; and use digital forensics to investigate any illicit activities.
How many interns are available for the
2004-2005 school year?
69 Fall Semester:
5 for the Oklahoma City area and 2 for the Tulsa area. Spring: 19 in
Oklahoma City and 20 in Tulsa. Summer: 11 in Oklahoma City and 12 in
Tulsa.
When would our intern work, and how much would it cost
our company?
An intern would work a 20-hour week for $10 to $13 an
hour, depending on the skill level of the student. At these wages, it
would cost between $3,200 and $4,160 to sponsor a 16-week internship.
If we sponsor an intern, what are our responsibilities?
You would interview and select your intern, plan the internship
experience to provide different learning experiences, supply a mentor to
help the intern apply skills, provide both student and school with
periodic evaluations, and pay the intern’s hourly wage.
