OPSWAT’s Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity - Graduate Fellowship Program 2026 Program Overview This immersive and hands-on program provides a unique opportunity for graduate students to study and mitigate real-world cybersecurity vulnerabilities affecting critical infrastructure systems. As a participant, you will: Identify and replicate known vulnerabilities in a controlled lab environment, leveraging our OPSWAT Critical Infrastructure Lab's resources. Develop and test exploits related to these vulnerabilities, gaining insight into hacker tactics and methods. Produce comprehensive written reports and visual content (video and images) detailing the vulnerabilities, the reasons behind their occurrence, and their potential impact on critical infrastructure. Scan identified malware and vulnerabilities using OPSWAT's suite of tools, such as the MultiScanner, Deep CDR, Proactive DP, Sandbox, Neuralyzer, and Vulnerability Scanners, and document your findings. Create a defense strategy that outlines protective measures against identified vulnerabilities and similar future threats, backed by your hands-on experience and testing results. Program Structure The program consists of 6 modules as below: Module 1: Vulnerability Identification and Replication Start with a known vulnerability (to be provided during the program). Replicate the vulnerability in the OPSWAT Critical Infrastructure Lab. Module 2: Exploit Development Develop an exploit for the identified vulnerability. Test and refine the exploit. Module 3: Analysis and Documentation Investigate and document the reasons the vulnerability occurred and its potential effects on critical infrastructure. Capture your process and findings through video/images, and written reports. Module 4: Scanning and Identification Use OPSWAT's MultiScanner, Sandbox, Neuralyzer, and Vulnerability Scanners to scan and identify the malware and vulnerabilities. Document your scanning results and analysis. Module 5: Defense Strategy Based on your findings, formulate a strategy to defend against the identified vulnerabilities and similar future threats. Write a detailed report and create visual content (diagrams, flowcharts, etc.) to illustrate the defense strategy. Module 6: Final Presentation Compile all your findings, reports, and strategies into a comprehensive document and presentation. Present your work to a panel of cybersecurity experts from OPSWAT for feedback and further learning. Create a video and online material to be published on OPSWAT’s and your university’s website. What we offer you? By the end of this program, you will gain an in-depth understanding of vulnerability analysis, exploit development, and cybersecurity defense strategies within the context of critical infrastructure. This hands-on, hands-on experience will be invaluable in helping you build and develop your future career in Cybersecurity.
