As Austrias largest research and technology organisation for applied research we have set ourselves the goal of making substantial contributions to solving the major challenges of our time climate change and digitisation. To achieve our goals we rely on our specific research development and technology competencies which are the basis of our commitment to excellence in all areas. With our open culture of innovation and our motivated international teams we are working to position AIT as Austrias leading research institution at the highest international level and to make a positive contribution to the economy and society.

Our Center for Digital Safety & Security located in Vienna invites applications for an internship. Our experts from the Center for Digital Safety & Security are developing state-of-the-art information and communication technologies to ensure that our systems are highly secure and reliable in the context of comprehensive digitalisation and global networking Hereby we focus on a variety of key technologies like Distributed IT Systems Internet of Things IoT Cybersecurity Data Science Artificial Intelligence (AI) Blockchain Technologies Quantum & Photonic Technologies Wireless Systems (6G) and Digital solutions for crisis & disaster management.

Our Cyber Security Research Field part of the Competence Unit Security and Communication Technologies specialises in applied research for digital security and is a pioneer in developing highly innovative concepts algorithms and systems for anomaly detection cyber threat intelligence penetration testing and cryptography. Through our groundbreaking technologies we are simulating modern ICT and OT infrastructures as well as cyber-attacks which serve as a basis for conducting cyber exercises with the aim of helping companies to increase the resilience of their critical infrastructure and protect their assets as best as possible.

• Under the guidance of our interdisciplinary team you deal intensively with the topic Cyber Range which involves the design development and operation of advanced simulation and training environments for cyber security.
• Together with our research team you will contribute to new solutions for our Cyber Range ranging from backend and infrastructure development to automation and orchestration components.
• Depending on your skills and interests you will work on software development (backend or frontend) DevOps processes and integration of monitoring and analytics tools.

• You will gain hands-on experience with real Cyber Range deployments participate in ongoing projects and exercises and get insights into how cyber ranges are used for training testing and research.
• You can apply your academic knowledge to real-world security challenges and contribute to applied research that shapes the next generation of defense mechanisms for connected systems.
