This internship offers practical experience in secure software development, DevSecOps, threat modeling, and AI-assisted security operations.

What You'll Do

Conduct code reviews focused on secure-coding practices and provide remediation guidance.
Assist in building security-focused APIs and micro-services that enforce authentication, authorization, and data-privacy controls.
Participate in threat modeling and risk assessments for new features and existing applications.

Help develop and execute penetration-test scripts or automated vulnerability scans on cloud and container environments.

Support incident-response activities (log analysis, forensic data collection) under supervision.
Prepare concise status briefings or demo videos that communicate findings and remediation plans to technical and non-technical audiences.

Travel to a Lockheed Martin site occasionally (as needed) and operate effectively in a virtual team setting.

Experience with at least one programming language (Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, etc.) and an understanding of secure coding principles.
Exposure to vulnerability management tools (Nessus, Qualys, OpenVAS) or penetration-testing frameworks (Metasploit, Burp Suite).
Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Desired skills

Hands-on experience with cloud security (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform IAM, security groups, container security).
Interest in emerging security technologies and AI-driven defenses.
Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) and integrating security scanners (Snyk, SonarQube, Trivy).
Basic knowledge of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, VPN, firewalls).
Familiarity with Agile development frameworks (Scrum, Kanban).
Knowledge of AI/ML security concepts (e.g., prompt engineering for AI model hardening, anomaly detection).
Ability to work collaboratively in a paired-programming or peer-review environment.
