Abstract

The main goal of the internship and capstone project was to complete requirements for the companies Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI) compliance review. While this encapsulated many of the projects, work was also done in daily duties that needed to be done with their CIO. The projects can easily be split by PCI and non-PCI work.

 

The projects related to PCI encompassed creating a network graph, reviewing a FEMA course, and creating an Incident Recovery Action Plan. When creating the network diagram, I used Python, specifically matplotlib and networkx modules, as well as Visio modeler. The FEMA course covered the topics of how to handle recovering from a cybersecurity incident. For creating the Incident Recovery Action Plan, I utilized information given in the FEMA course and from coursework at UWB.

 

Non-PCI related projects were dependent on the normal work duties required for the CIO. These projects taught me many skills such as installing hardware, monitoring network traffic, and programming batch and PowerShell scripts. These skills were not used directly to complete the PCI review but helped my growth as a CSSE student.

 

While I worked under my mentor, he allowed me to lead the projects I worked on, set timelines, and offer input on solutions I believe could be better. The skills and experience I gained through the internship were well rounded, taught me how to work on a project as well as lead one, and showed me best business practices in a technical field.
