Vedere Labs Cyber Security Internship

Vedere Labs is the cybersecurity research arm of Forescout Technologies. “Vedere” is an Italian verb that means to see, understand analyze. This word describes exactly the mission of the team. At Vedere Labs, our researchers focus on threat and vulnerability research with the goals of improving the cyber security posture of our customers and the community at large.

We are currently looking for talented and motivated students that want to start their career in one of the most active and renowned cyber security groups that focused on IoT/OT and IoMT.
