OPSWAT’s Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity- Graduate Fellowship Program
Program Overview
This immersive and hands- on program provides a unique opportunity for graduate students to study and mitigate real- world cybersecurity vulnerabilities affecting critical infrastructure systems.
As a participant, you will:
Create a defense strategy that outlines protective measures against identified vulnerabilities and similar future threats, backed by your hands- on experience and testing results.
Develop and test exploits related to these vulnerabilities, gaining insight into hacker tactics and methods.
Identify and replicate known vulnerabilities in a controlled lab environment, leveraging our OPSWAT Critical Infrastructure Lab&039;s resources.
Scan identified malware and vulnerabilities using OPSWAT&039;s suite of tools, such as the MultiScanner, Deep CDR, Proactive DP, Sandbox, Neuralyzer, and Vulnerability Scanners, and document your findings.
Produce comprehensive written reports and visual content (video and images) detailing the vulnerabilities, the reasons behind their occurrence, and their potential impact on critical infrastructure.
Program Structure
The program consists of 6 modules as below:
Module 1: Vulnerability Identification and Replication
Start with a known vulnerability (to be provided during the program).
Replicate the vulnerability in the OPSWAT Critical Infrastructure Lab.
Module 2: Exploit Development
Develop an exploit for the identified vulnerability.
Test and refine the exploit.
Module 3: Analysis and Documentation
Capture your process and findings through video/images, and written reports.
Investigate and document the reasons the vulnerability occurred and its potential effects on critical infrastructure.
Module 4: Scanning and Identification
Use OPSWAT&039;s MultiScanner, Sandbox, Neuralyzer, and Vulnerability Scanners to scan and identify the malware and vulnerabilities.
Document your scanning results and analysis.
Module 5: Defense Strategy
Based on your findings, formulate a strategy to defend against the identified vulnerabilities and similar future threats.
Write a detailed report and create visual content (diagrams, flowcharts, etc.) to illustrate the defense strategy.
Module 6: Final Presentation
Present your work to a panel of cybersecurity experts from OPSWAT for feedback and further learning.
Create a video and online material to be published on OPSWAT’s and your university’s website.
Compile all your findings, reports, and strategies into a comprehensive document and presentation.
What we offer you?
You will have the opportunity to expose and work on OPSWAT’s Critical Infrastructure Labs.
By the end of this program, you will gain an in- depth understanding of vulnerability analysis, exploit development, and cybersecurity defense strategies within the context of critical infrastructure. This hands- on, hands- on experience will be invaluable in helping you build and develop your future career in Cybersecurity. You can include this practical exercise in future Master’s and Doctoral Research projects.
