Hi, We've moved.

We're still building the future of Cybersecurity,
just under a new name. We're now The GBC Academy

The National Security Agency (NSA) in partnership
with the Maryland Innovation & Security Institute (MISI) and the GBC MISI Academy

Center of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity Internship

About The Internship

The National Security Agency (NSA) in partnership with the Maryland Innovation & Security Institute (MISI) and the GBC MISI Academy seek applicants for an 8-week paid internship program designed for college seniors about to enter the technical workforce currently enrolled in an institution designated as a CAE-CD or CAE-CO by the National Security Agency Center of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity.

Interns will be immersed into real-world cyber settings of 3 focus areas we call 'tracks': The DoD Cybersecurity Policy Track, The SOC Tier 1 Track, and The Fundamentals of Cybersecurity Track. Interns will also receive the opportunity to meet and speak with cyber leaders in government and academia.

Track 3 : Fundamentals of Industrial Control Cybersecurity

 In this track, interns will learn about the systems, software and technology that control functions of everyday life including manufacturing, medicine, the energy grid, water supply and even weapon systems! Interns will be exposed virtually to the MISI Industrial Control Lab and Cyber Range to be introduced operational technology such as programmable logic controllers, human machine interfaces and actuators.
