Job Description

As an Intern for AI Security, you will play a hands-on role in defining the future of Secure AI by Design. You will work at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity, bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research and real-world industrial applications.

Your primary focus will be building tangible, industry-specific demo labs that showcase how Palo Alto Networks' security products protect and enable the next generation of AI-driven enterprises. You will help demonstrate our authority in securing complex AI environments to the region's largest organizations across multiple critical sectors.

Your Impact

• Build Cross-Industry AI Demos: Develop hands-on laboratory environments and AI applications that simulate real-world use cases across sectors like Energy, Utilities, and Public Sector.

• Architect "Secure AI by Design": Create end-to-end demonstrations showing how our platform secures the AI lifecycle—from data ingestion and model training to deployment and inference.

• Develop Technical Artifacts: Assist in creating high-impact technical content, including lab guides, reference architectures, and proof-of-concept blueprints that establish our team’s credibility as industry authorities.

• Support Strategic Engagements: Work alongside Industry Architects to prepare demo environments for workshops and advisory sessions with senior technology leaders (CTOs, CISOs) at Top 200 accounts.

• Innovate and Prototype: Stay at the forefront of AI threat landscapes (e.g., prompt injection, data poisoning, model evasion) and prototype innovative ways our products can mitigate these risks.

Qualifications (Additional Job Description) 

• Academic Background: Currently pursuing a Bachelors or Masters Degree in AI / Machine Learning, Data Science, or Cybersecurity with a heavy focus on AI models.
