Company Overview The Cognito platform from Vectra provides continuous, automated threat surveillance to proactively expose hidden and unknown cyberattackers that actively spread inside networks. The genesis of Cognito is based on a simple principle for finding hidden threats: use an authoritative source of data and seek out the fundamental threat behaviors that cybercriminals cant avoid when they carry out an attack. To do this, Cognito relies on the only source of truth during a cyberattack network traffic. Only traffic on the wire whether in private data centers, public clouds or enterprise environments reveals the truth with complete fidelity and independence. Low-fidelity perimeter security only shows what youve already seen, not the hidden attacks that were missed. Cognito delivers a far more efficient way of analyzing network traffic at scale. Instead of traditional payload inspection, it uses AI, machine learning and behavioral traffic analysis to expose the fundamental behaviors of attackers as they spy, spread, and steal in the network even in encrypted traffic.By automating cyberattacker detection, analysis and incident response,CognitoAI condenses days or weeks of work into minutes, reducing the threat investigation workload.

We look for people that are smart, very capable technically, and have fun solving the challenges that our customers face together as a team. We believe strongly that everyone, including interns, can and should have significant impacts on the growth of the product as well as the company and our culture. We believe in using the right technology for each problem and building knowledge through mentorship and other things like peer code reviews. We're excited to find others to join the team that want to work on an interesting product that solves real problems. As part of the Engineering team, Software Engineering Interns will work directly on the Cognito product platform to solve customer problems. We traditionally bring in a small team of individuals each summer and propose a set of different projects for the team to select based on the team's interests. These are projects that will actually be used in production, so we expect our internship to provide a good picture of what it's like to work here at Vectra as a full-time engineer. The ideal candidate is a team player who is excited to learn about and work with a variety of technologies to solve different problems. Responsibilities
