Learners are paid a $1400 CAD stipend on completion of the project by Riipen. Employers are not required to provide payment.
- Submit a project here for the ICT Ignite team to review.
- Once approved, you will be matched with a team of 5 participants.
- Projects should start from 24th June, and must be completed between 2 and 4 weeks.
- Projects must be completed by 19th July.
The learners are graduates of the Lighthouse Labs Cybersecurity Program. These individuals have just wrapped up immersive, hands-on training in cybersecurity. They can review your current practice, highlight potential problems, evaluate security issues, assess risk, and recommend & implement tailored solutions to defend against threats to your networks or computer systems.
They are ready to bring the lens of a Cybersecurity Analyst, Information Security Analyst, Incident Responder/Handler, Network Security Specialist, and Risk Analyst.
Report areas you can request include:
- Vulnerability Assessment report
- Security Architecture overview and recommendations
- Investigation & Research report
You can find out more about these reports here.
If you have questions or need help drafting your project content please email us at ictignite@riipen.com. You can also find all of our help articles here.
ICT Ignite Cyber is Funded by Upskill Canada [powered by Palette Skills] and the Government of Canada.
Cybersecurity graduates are versed in a wide range of topics including network security, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, incident response, malware analysis, security awareness training, secure coding, and more.
Deliverables will vary depending on the project scope. After the project concludes, you will have assets that can be used to further your business goals, such as a completed cybersecurity analysis report.
Given the short, remote nature of ICT Ignite Cyber we require a project-based experience. If your project looks like a job posting, we can not accept it. Please provide a concrete scope for the learner’s work and limit their work to a specific project.
We have pinned an example project template to this experience which you can use as a starting point. If you choose to use a template from our library, ensure that you have added as much context for your business needs as possible.
Note: If learners are completing confidential work that you do not want to be shared through Riipen, you can create and sign off on a timesheet for the learner. In this case, we might also recommend that you have the learners sign an NDA before starting your project. You can use the Agreements feature to do this.
