Emeritus has an open Network Security Intern position in Gurugram for motivated freshers and final-year students. You will work on live network security engineering projects and finish with something you can genuinely talk about in interviews. About the role As a Network Security Intern at Emeritus, your core focus will be configuring and reviewing the controls that sit between networks — firewalls, segmentation, VPNs — and testing that they hold. You are attached to a named mentor, join the team's stand-ups and reviews, and are trusted with work that matters rather than filler tasks. Questions are encouraged, your output is reviewed properly, and you get the feedback you need to actually improve. What you'll do day to day • Work on configuring and reviewing the controls that sit between networks — firewalls, segmentation, VPNs — and testing that they hold alongside the core team • Use Firewalls, Network Segmentation, VPN, IDS / IPS, TCP/IP on live, production-facing problems • Turn your work into clear documentation, notes or decks for reviewers • Take part in reviews and act on the feedback you receive • Collaborate across functions — engineering, product, design or business as the work demands • Follow the team's quality, testing and documentation standards • Track and report your own progress against an agreed plan Skills you'll build You will build practical, demonstrable experience in Firewalls, Network Segmentation, VPN, IDS / IPS, TCP/IP, Wireshark, Routing & Switching, Access Control Lists, Linux, Security Hardening — the exact toolkit that separates a hireable fresher from a CV full of coursework. No prior work experience is required. Curiosity, problem-solving ability and a willingness to learn matter far more here than a polished résumé, and every one of these skills is taught on the job. Who should apply Students in their final year or recent graduates from B.E./B.Tech (CSE/IT/ECE/Telecom), BCA/MCA or B.Sc (IT / Cyber Security) based in or willing to work from Gurugram. You should be willing to learn Firewalls, Network Segmentation, VPN and able to communicate clearly in writing.
