CISCO AICTE 2023

CyberSecurity Intern
July 2023-September 2023

    In the Cisco AICTE Virtual Internship 2023, I engaged in a comprehensive cybersecurity analysis of a university/college campus network. Leveraging Cisco Packet Tracer and knowledge from the NetAcad cybersecurity course, I meticulously mapped the network topology, identified security controls, and conducted an attack surface mapping to pinpoint vulnerabilities. Through the incorporation of robust security measures such as VLANs, IDP/IPS, VPNs, and firewalls, I enhanced the network's security posture. The deliverables included a detailed network topology diagram and a security assessment report outlining identified risks and proposing effective countermeasures. This experience not only sharpened my practical cybersecurity skills but also emphasized the critical role of proactive measures in securing complex digital infrastructures.
