IT security intern - malware propagation - Internship between 6 and 8 months - 100 %

As an IT security intern in mathematical modeling applied to cybersecurity, you will analyze the propagation of malware in a corporate network using models inspired by epidemiology in order to simulate attack scenarios and identify critical control points.

What you do on a daily basis

You will conduct a review of epidemiological models applied to computer networks such as SIR, SEIR or SIS, you will collect information relating to the company's network architecture and you will participate in the construction of a mathematical model of malware propagation in the form of a system of differential equations.

You will adapt the model to the specificities of a real IT infrastructure taking into account the types of machines, network segmentation, detection mechanisms and the replication speed of malware. You will then perform simulations of different attack scenarios in order to analyze their impacts over time and identify the critical areas and assets of the network.

You will propose prevention, segmentation, isolation and response strategies based on the results of the simulations. You will also develop a reusable simulation tool in Python and you will document the hypotheses, the limits, the results as well as the associated security recommendations.

What you bring to the team

You have a Bachelor's degree in computer science, applied mathematics, cybersecurity or an equivalent field and are currently pursuing a Master's in IT cybersecurity, data science, applied mathematics or a related field, you are looking for an internship allowing you to validate your degree via the obtaining of ECTS credits.

You possess knowledge in mathematical modeling and numerical simulation. You master Python development, notably the NumPy, SciPy and Matplotlib libraries, and possess basic knowledge in cybersecurity applied to corporate networks.

Rigorous and endowed with a good analytical spirit, you are able to present technical results in a clear and structured manner. You perfectly master French and have excellent technical knowledge in English.

Your advantages

• 40 weekly hours for a 100%
• Flexible working hours
• Collaborative, egalitarian and respectful work environment for all
• Internal professional training

Start date: To be agreed

Activity rate: 100%

Duration: between 6 and 8 months
