Project ArchAI looks at developing a software which ingests an IT system use case to generate a security architecture model. Inputs can be in the form of either their system writeup, or initial source codes, or even diagrams, which is analysed and reproduced into a machine-readable architecture. This can then be used as a standardised approach to do cyber threat modelling, which provides relevant and useful insights on what security controls are required. The intern's role here is to build relevant testing tools, which may use genAI and AI agents that can support the testing of this software.

Learning Outcomes

- Gain hands-on experience in developing and testing AI-assisted tools, while learning cybersecurity principles behind developing such tools for cybersecurity use. - Develop awareness of the limitations of using AI for cybersecurity validation in threat modeling, security architecture design and security testing. - Gain experience in validating security requirements for agentic AI systems, the cybersecurity risks pertaining to the use of AI agents and the measures needed to mitigate such risks.

Prerequisites

- Knowledge of AWS services, especially for EKS, AgentCore, Bedrock and security services - Proficient in at least one programming language - Proficient in Claude Code and setting up of AI agents or harness engineering - Familiar with cybersecurity concepts of threat modelling and risk assessment - Knowledge in security assurance testing or penetration testing
