About The
DICE Internship Program

The MISI Academy is partnering with k-12, Colleges and Universities, including HBCUs and minority academic institutions to reach a diverse group of students interested in cybersecurity or related disciplines. The DICE Mentoring and Internship Program is based on instruction in cyber policy, cyber specific job related skills training and standards.   Interns get to work on real world cyber efforts but also work alongside experienced cyber personnel. We focus on the following areas to name a few:

  • Introduction to Industrial control systems and critical infrastructure cyber concepts Including, manufacturing, facilities and other  critical infrastructure cyber topics. 
  • Security clearances and the elements of positions of trust.
  • Controlled unclassified information protection and its importance to the nation.
  • Introduction to cyber tools used to assess cyber risks, threats to commercial companies and the Defense Industrial Base companies.
  • Cyber security standards and maturity models including, CMMC, NIST, IEC, and DFARS 7012. 
  • Lunch with leaders and employers – a unique series where our interns get direct access to our nation’s top cybersecurity leaders from the DoD, Intelligence Community, Corporate America, and the Halls of Congress.
