This project focuses on analysing recurring vulnerabilities discovered during professional penetration testing engagements and transforming them into practical secure coding guidance and implementation examples. The intern will work alongside cybersecurity engineers to investigate vulnerability root causes, develop proof-of-concept secure implementations, and build an interactive security knowledge platform that helps development teams adopt secure-by-design practices. The project offers exposure to real attack techniques, application security testing methodologies, and secure software engineering practices used in enterprise environments.

Learning Outcomes

- Learn application security and penetration testing concepts - Gain exposure to real VAPT findings from enterprise systems - Understand OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies - Develop secure coding best practices - Understand how cybersecurity is integrated into modern software delivery

Prerequisites

- Basic understanding of web application development concepts (e.g. authentication, session management, APIs, databases). - Familiarity with at least one programming language such as Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, or Go. - Basic understanding of common cybersecurity concepts and web application vulnerabilities. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with an interest in secure software development.
