Description
Anna Lorimer will present Security Internships: Bringing up the next generation of hackers
Software engineering internships are increasingly popular and are becoming an integral part of career development for newcomers to the tech scene.They’re also valuable to any organization because they give senior engineers the opportunity to pass on knowledge and make it easier to find full time hires down the road. While there’s plenty of information about how to run a software engineering internship, the same can’t be said for security internships. In this talk I’ll discuss how security internships differ from regular software engineering internships, how to find interns, and how to structure internships to set up both your organization and the intern(s) for success.
