With us, you have many opportunities, whether you want experience as an advisor, consultant, or developer. For many years, we have had students who have worked part-time, had internships, or been with us as part of a bachelor’s or master’s thesis. Such an exchange provides learning and enrichment for both the students and us as a company – and sometimes it also leads to a job offer.
Since 2021, we have offered internships for students specializing in IT security or cybersecurity, either as mandatory courses or electives, at our office in Kristiansand. Together with the student(s), we try to find a project or subject area that suits both the student and the company. This is preferably adapted and clarified before we enter into a final agreement, and our experience is that this works well.
At the start, the students receive extra follow-up and then one hour of weekly follow-up from a dedicated employee. Additional time is also set aside at the end.
We regularly collaborate with students who want to write a bachelor’s or master’s thesis in cybersecurity. Available cases are posted on an ongoing basis.
Jeg ønsket meg erfaring, få mulighet til å være litt hands på områdene som er pensum. Vi går jo på et generisk it-studie, men jeg har hele tiden visst at jeg ville jobbe med sikkerhet. Vi hadde en gjesteforelesning helt i starten av studiene med en fra Red-teamet til Netsecurity, han tipset om å søke deltidsjobb, og jeg hoppet da på toget.
Vi har jo vært her i nesten ett år, og kombinasjonen av enormt med kunnskap i bedriften og hjelpsomme mennesker, har gjort året til et helt spesielt fint og lærerikt år for oss.
Å utdanne deg innen it-sikkerhet, er nok det smarteste du kan gjøre i dag. Uansett hva du skal jobbe med innen it, har det et sikkerhetsaspekt ved seg.
Jeg har hele tiden vært veldig interessert i sikkerhet, og da vi skulle ha praksisprosjekt kom flere bedrifter for å presenterte seg. Jeg fikk et veldig godt inntrykk av Netsecurity da, følte de skilte seg litt ut.
I begynnelsen syns jeg det var litt skummelt, jeg kjente veldig på at jeg ikke er flink nok til dette. Men det har gått så bra! Og det handler nok om oppfølging og ivaretakelse jeg har fått fra de ansatte her.
IT er et fagfelt hvor bare egen interesse og entusiasme setter grensene, hvor det skjer noe nytt hver dag. Det er også et ettertraktet fagfelt, selv fikk jeg jobbtilbud mens vi ennå arbeidet med bacheloroppgaven. Det var en fantastisk anerkjennelse av arbeidet gruppen min hadde lagt i prosjektet.
Du må tørre å ta de sjansene som blir lagt fram for deg. Vis at du er interessert i sikkerhet! Jeg tror du kan komme langt om du tør å prate med folk, bygge nettverk helt fra studietiden.
Det har vært veldig gøy å være i bedrift som ligger så langt framme på sitt felt. En av foreleserne våre var nesten frustrert over hvor langt framme Netsecurity er på innovasjon og nyutvikling, for det skulle være en del av vår oppgave å se nye muligheter. Men de var allerede under utvikling! Det gjør det veldig attraktivt å være her.
Sikkerhet har så mange aspekter: Du kan jobbe veldig teknisk som penetrasjonstester, eller du kan jobbe som rådgiver. Mulighetene er så mange!
I wanted experience, the opportunity to be a bit hands-on in the areas that are part of the curriculum. We are in a generic IT study program, but I have always known that I wanted to work with security. We had a guest lecture right at the start of our studies with someone from Netsecurity’s Red Team, and he suggested applying for a part-time job, so I jumped at the chance.
We have been here for almost a year, and the combination of enormous knowledge in the company and helpful people has made the year a very special, enjoyable, and educational year for us.
Getting an education in IT security is probably the smartest thing you can do today. Whatever you are going to work with in IT, it has a security aspect to it.
I have always been very interested in security, and when we were going to have an internship project, several companies came to present themselves. I got a very good impression of Netsecurity then; I felt they stood out a little.
At the beginning, I thought it was a little scary; I really felt that I was not good enough for this. But it has gone so well! And that is probably because of the follow-up and care I have received from the employees here.
IT is a field where only your own interest and enthusiasm set the limits, and something new happens every day. It is also an in-demand field; I personally received a job offer while we were still working on our bachelor’s thesis. It was a fantastic recognition of the work my group had put into the project.
You have to dare to take the opportunities that are presented to you. Show that you are interested in security! I think you can go far if you dare to talk to people and build a network from your student days.
It has been great fun to be in a company that is so far ahead in its field. One of our lecturers was almost frustrated by how far ahead Netsecurity is in innovation and new development, because part of our assignment was supposed to be to identify new opportunities. But they were already under development! That makes it very attractive to be here.
Security has so many aspects: you can work very technically as a penetration tester, or you can work as an advisor. There are so many opportunities!
