Security Research Intern - Ai Focus

Come build community, explore your passions and do your best work at Microsoft with thousands of University interns from every corner of the world. This opportunity will allow you to bring your aspirations, talent, potential - and excitement for the journey ahead. As an AI Security Research Intern in the Autonomous Attack Disruption team, you will join the frontlines of Microsoft Defender's mission to stop attacks in near real-time. Under the mentorship of experienced researchers, use AI to analyze real-world attacker TTPs and build systems that autonomously detect and disrupt attacks before adversaries reach their goals, including agentic pipelines and LLM-based threat analysis. This role requires a blend of applied security research expertise, AI fundamentals, and engineering skills to deliver production-ready protection at a global scale. This is your chance to see your AI-powered research transformed into autonomous defense systems that protects millions of users. At Microsoft, interns are embedded directly into research cycles, working on high-stakes projects that solve real-world security challenges. You will collaborate with global teams to translate complex research into automated protection logic that stops attackers in near real-time. You will work at the intersection of large language models, agentic AI frameworks, and security research - an area where the field is being defined in real time. You'll be empowered to build community, explore your passions, and achieve your goals. This is your chance to bring your solutions and ideas to life while working on cutting-edge technology.
