Internship project: Internet-of-Things (IoT) Fingerprinting and Threat Analytics

The IoT Fingerprinting Project focuses on gaining visibility into Singapore's IoT deployment landscape by actively building profiles of connected devices such as IP cameras and routers. This project aims to enable CSA to understand Singapore’s IoT deployment composition, enabling the detection of trends, anomalies, and coordinated malicious activities, thus bolstering proactive threat hunting and incident response. The intern will: - Assist in the validation and fine-tuning of algorithms for IoT device fingerprinting. - Work with datasets including IPFIX and DNS data from telecommunications providers. - Analyse data patterns to identify features relevant to IoT device identification. - Collaborate with the team to improve the accuracy of fingerprinting techniques. - Contribute to the documentation of methodologies and findings. - Prepare and deliver a final presentation summarising the internship and key learnings, focusing on the role of IoT fingerprinting in threat analytics and national defence.

- Understanding of data analysis principles. - Familiarity with at least one programming language for data analysis (e.g., Python). - Good understanding of networking concepts and protocols (TCP/IP, DNS). - Good written and verbal communication skills. - Ability to work independently and as part of a team. - Interest in exploring cybersecurity in relation to IoT. - Experience with data analysis libraries in Python (e.g., Pandas, NumPy). - Familiar with network analysis tools (e.g. Wireshark, Zeek) Knowledge of machine learning concepts. - Interns who can join from May 2025 onwards (6 months minimum commitment)
