Internship

Cyber Security intern at ComCode GmbH in Gr?benzell, Germany

So what do you like about the Cybersecurity major?

I like to say it’s more of a lifestyle than a major because it’s one of those fields that is evolving every single day. You can be the smartest cybersecurity person alive and know everything, but if you were to drop off the face of the Earth for a year and come back, you would be behind. Things change every day, and to stay on top of it you have to follow the news and talk with people in the industry. It’s a very tight-knit community. We help each other out because you can’t go about this stuff single-handedly.

Can you tell us about your ComCode internship?

I worked for ComCode GmbH in Gr?benzell, Germany as a Cyber Security Intern focusing on Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) research and development. I was responsible for two main projects, including a live investigation to help businesses understand what sensitive information could be gathered and reported to a company from the internet that could be potentially destructive to those businesses. I was hands-on throughout the entire investigation, using a lot of tools in a new field I had never encountered before.

How did Champlain prepare you for this internship?

Champlain’s unique approach to tech classes prepared me by giving me a solid foundational knowledge of cybersecurity before starting the internship. Most importantly, my classes taught me how to learn. At Champlain, we learn how to dig into a topic, research it, and master it even if we’ve never encountered it before. I can teach myself to utilize new technology to do my job in a fast and efficient manner.
