INTRODUCTION OF
INTERNSHIP
The Palo Alto Cyber security Virtual Internship
provided hands-on training in threat detection,
network security, and firewall management using
Palo Alto Networks technologies.
Cybersecurity is a field that continuously evolves to
counteract the ever-present and growing threat of
cyberattacks. To foster the development of the next
generation of cybersecurity professionals,
companies like Palo Alto Networks offer virtual
internship programs. These initiatives provide
valuable opportunities for aspiring individuals to
gain hands-on experience and insights into the
world of cybersecurity.
OVERVIEW OF THE
INTERNSHIP
The Palo Alto Cybersecurity Virtual Internship
provides an immersive experience over a ten-week
period. Designed for self-placed learning, it utilizes
the Palo Alto Beacon platform to facilitate skill
development.
Conducted virtually, the internship spans 10 weeks,
utilizing self-placed learning modules on the Palo
Alto Beacon platform. This format encourages
flexibility while allowing in-depth exploration of
cybersecurity topics.
MODULE
1 etwork Security
N
Fundamentals
This course network security fundamentals,
includes connected devices, routing, area
networks, and protocols. They also introduce IP
addressing, subnetting, TCP/IP and OSI models,
packet lifecycle, and encapsulation. The courses
teach endpoint security prevention for threats like
malware, viruses, ransomware, and phishing
attacks. They delve into network security
fundamentals for home networks and critical
infrastructure, and present Palo Alto Networks
network-security solutions.
MODULE 2
Cybersecurity
Fundamentals
This course offers a comprehensive understanding of
the modern cybersecurity landscape and today’s
cyberthreats. You’ll learn about current attack
methods, defense strategies, public Wi-Fi risks, and
protection measures. You will also learn about modern
security models, focusing on perimeter-based and
Zero Trust models.
The course concludes with an overview of Palo Alto
Networks’ prevention architecture and the key
capabilities required for preventing successful
cyberattacks.
MODULE 3
Cloud Security
Fundamentals
This course cover the core technologies used in cloud
computing, such as virtual machines and containers,
development operations teams, and the CI/CD pipeline.
They provide an overview of cloud computing models,
shared responsibility, best practices, and hybrid cloud
computing. The courses discuss the models and
processes organizations use for cloud technologies,
common software development models, and the
supporting teams. They explain how cloud-native
application protection platforms (CNAPP) offer
comprehensive protection with integrated security and
compliance capabilities for cloud-native applications in
MODULE 4
Security Operations
Fundamentals
This course cover the daily life of a SecOps analyst, the six
elements of security operations, and how SOAR technology
simplifies cybersecurity response and prevention. They
introduce endpoint protection with the Cortex XDR agent,
which combines behavioral protection and AI-based
analysis to stop advanced attacks. The courses provide a
high-level overview of Cortex XSOAR Threat Intelligence
Management (TIM), a security solution for automating and
streamlining threat intelligence processes, including native
threat intelligence, data sources, incident enrichment, and
threat intel reports. Finally, the courses introduce the
products in the Palo Alto Networks Cortex platform: Cortex
XSOAR, Cortex XDR, Cortex XSOAR TIM, and Cortex XSIAM.
