Are you interested in learning how to collect, process, analyze, and distill information with the intent of providing actionable, predictive threat intelligence to organizations spanning commercial industries? The type of threat intelligence is leveraged by organizations to protect themselves against prioritized threat actors causing significant impacts such as cybercriminal and ransomware groups. As an intern, you’ll have the opportunity to work with threat intelligence and incident response practitioners within Booz Allen Hamilton’s commercial business to analyze and gain insights from real-world incidents involving threat actor activity.

The delivery of your work will help to shape products and solutions that will be offered to clients across industries in the commercial space.
You'll be working on bleeding edge threat research that will define what the art of the possible is – what can be done – and bring it to life for clients. Are you ready to help us combat the most advanced adversaries?
