Cybersecurity Academy Internship:

Are you ready to go beyond the textbook ?

The Dark Wolf Cyber Academy (DWCA) internship is an immersive program designed to turn aspiring students into cybersecurity professionals. Unlike standard internships, we challenge you to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity through three critical lenses: Risk Management, Penetration Testing, and Cyber Engineering. This internship is built for people who want to grow fast.

The DWCA Internship is designed to be cyber intensive where you won’t just talk about security—you’ll build it. This program is structured into dedicated 2-3 week blocks where you work alongside professionals and are exposed to real-world tools and frameworks. From breaking into systems to building resilient cloud architectures, you will gain hands-on experience that bridges the gap between theory and implementation. This internship is designed to help you figure out your path—and give you experience to back it up.

Professional Sprints:

Pentesting & Offensive Security: Adopt an adversarial perspective to identify and exploit critical vulnerabilities.
Cyber Engineering: Move beyond policy to practical application by learning to architect and secure cloud environments.
Risk Management & Compliance: Familiarize yourself with the components of authorization packages through hands-on development activities.
AI Education & Emerging Tech: Explore the cutting edge of security by analyzing the impact of emerging technologies on modern cyber engineering.

Why DWCA?

Real-World Impact: Work on a simulation that mirrors industry challenges
Mentorship: Learn directly from professionals who serve as your dedicated day-to-day coaches
Career Launchpad: Gain the practical, employable skills that prepare you to stand out in a competitive market
