We are seeking a cybersecurity-focused co-op student to assist in the design, deployment, and monitoring of a cloud-based Operational Technology (OT) honeypot. This role offers hands-on experience in threat detection, network segmentation, and cloud integration, with potential interaction between virtual and physical lab environments.

  • Assist in the deployment and configuration of a cloud-based OT honeypot (e.g., using AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Support integration between the honeypot and physical lab infrastructure.
  • Configure network segmentation and firewall rules to isolate honeypot traffic.
  • Monitor honeypot activity and analyze captured data for threat intelligence.
  • Document architecture, configurations, and observed behaviors.
  • Collaborate with team members to simulate OT protocols (e.g., Modbus, DNP3) and emulate industrial devices.
  • Apply basic hardening techniques to honeypot systems to simulate realistic environments.
  • Support log forwarding and integration with SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk, ELK).
  • Assist in vulnerability scanning and patching of honeypot components.
  • Currently enrolled in a degree program in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of networking fundamentals: IP addressing, VLANs, routing, TCP/UDP, DNS, DHCP, NAT.
  • Familiarity with virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware, Proxmox, Hyper-V).
  • Basic experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP): VPCs, subnets, security groups.
  • Exposure to cybersecurity tools: Wireshark, tcpdump, vulnerability scanners (e.g., Tenable, Qualys).
  • Knowledge of Windows and Linux OS environments.
  • Understanding of Active Directory and basic hardening practices.
  • Comfort with CLI tools and scripting (e.g., Bash, PowerShell, Python).
  • Experience with honeypot frameworks (e.g., Conpot, T-Pot, Cowrie).
  • Familiarity with OT protocols and industrial control systems.
  • Hands-on experience with SIEM tools and log analysis.
  • Knowledge of threat detection and incident response workflows.
  • Experience with secure authentication practices.
