The NJCCIC Advanced Cybersecurity High School Internship Program is a virtual program designed for New Jersey high school students (grades 9-12) with prior cybersecurity experience. Interns delve into advanced cybersecurity concepts and engage in research within a virtual team setting. The program emphasizes hands-on experience in a high-tech environment, allowing students to learn various tools and techniques used to detect and combat cyber threats. Activities include working on intrusion detection, vulnerability management, cyber threat intelligence, risk management, and public outreach alongside NJCCIC professionals. Students also participate in professional speaker sessions, cyber updates, and state update meetings, discussing real-world case studies of breaches and incident responses. The internship culminates in team projects, such as research papers, Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges, and virtual escape rooms, with a final capstone presentation to NJOHSP leadership. The program aims to provide valuable work experience and insight into the cybersecurity industry, helping students develop critical skills in scientific communication and data analysis.
A typical day involves professional speaker sessions, discussions on current cyber threats and state updates, collaborative project work, and hands-on technical training using platforms like Cyberbit for detecting, analyzing, and responding to cyber incidents.
