Introduction

One of the most interesting experiences one may have in life is working as an intern for a young company. I never imagined that in just six months as an Aspia Infotech Pvt. Ltd. cybersecurity intern, I would learn so much and develop so much. In terms of my technical skills as well as my personal and professional growth, the experience has been revolutionary. I've had a fantastic journey full of knowledge and personal development. I'll discuss my experiences working as an intern in cybersecurity at Aspia Infotech Pvt. Ltd. in this blog post.

The Startup

Aspia Infotech is a fully distributed team of individuals located across India, all working towards its mission of simplifying security and creating a safe digital space for everyone. Its goal is to become one of the best cybersecurity consulting firms in India.

It takes a proactive approach to cybersecurity and assists enterprises in seamlessly integrating security into their IT infrastructure, aligned with their overall business strategy.

The co-founders here have played a crucial role in its development and success. They have developed a workplace culture that appreciates a person's ability to work hard and improve personall and professionally.

My Journey

I had a little prior experience with cybersecurity when I began my internship at Aspia Infotech Pvt. Ltd. However, the business gave me a fantastic chance to learn. I've worked on application security, API testing, SIEM and SOAR tools, GRC, vulnerability management, penetration testing, and other things during my tenure here. I've spent a lot of time learning about the OWASP Top 10, in particular, and it's been crucial to my comprehension of web application security.
Aspia Infotech is unique for a number of reasons, including its emphasis on manual testing. While we do employ automated tools like Burp Suite and Genymotion, our focus is on using our expertise and common sense to identify bugs and vulnerabilities. Because of this, I've been able to hone my critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, which will help me in any future employment.

Working in cybersecurity might be difficult, but it's also exhilarating. I would find new problems and vulnerabilities every day that needed to be fixed. I was intrigued and motivated in my career because of this encounter. Throughout my internship, I picked up a lot of new information and increased my skill level. I can state with pride that the experience has advanced my career and personal development.

Beyond only imparting technical knowledge, my internship here has taught me more. It has helped me understand the value of teamwork, communication, and ongoing learning. It has shown me the value of working on a team with a strong sense of purpose and dedication to producing the finest outcomes. It has taught me that anything is possible with the appropriate mindset, attitude, and instruction.

Work culture

Along with the team's technical proficiency, Aspia Infotech stands out for its leadership, organizational culture, and work environment. Despite the fact that the internship was remote, the team made a point of keeping in touch and giving regular feedback and direction. The company's founders are like mentors to me; they helped me become the person I am today and polished me along the way. Their culture of learning, progress, and excellence is evident in the caliber of the work we produce and the confidence our clients have in us.

Conclusion

I am happy to be a member of the firm as I have watched it grow daily. The customers, the trust, and the support that Aspia offers are by far the greatest in each and every category. It has been a wonderful trip from the selection exam through the interviews and to where I am now, and I believe things will only get better.

In conclusion, my internship here has changed my life. It has pushed me, educated me, and motivated me to get better. I would heartily advise anyone wishing to pursue a career in cybersecurity or related industry to check out Aspia Infotech.
It is a location where you may grow, learn, and prosper, and I am grateful for this opportunity.
