    Job Description

    FireEye iSIGHT Threat Intelligence is a proactive, forward-looking means of qualifying threats poised to disrupt your business based on the intents, tools, and tactics of the attacker. Our high-fidelity, comprehensive intelligence delivers visibility beyond the typical attack lifecycle, adding context and priority to global threats before, during, and after an attack.

    Interns will develop iSIGHT intelligence capabilities and coverage to fill identified gaps in our completion of customer requirements to deliver the most comprehensive, contextually rich, actionable intelligence.

     

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    • Create written intelligence reporting to address coverage needs, under the direction of senior analysts. These will typically be two to seven page analytical reports, delivered to specific or multiple Intelligence customers.
    • Complete an approximately two-week, hands-on training course on FireEye iSIGHT Intelligence, analyst work within the Intelligence group, and subject matter.
    • Identify and nominate solutions relevant to the areas they work on that could be implemented to increase value to Intelligence customers.  Areas which interns are assigned to work on will be determined based upon their interests, their expertise, and which intelligence needs senior analysts evaluate as priority.
