Transparent Edge is launching a new edition of Women at the Edge, the scholarship program that trains women as cybersecurity and edge computing specialists. This edition focuses on products that protect websites and web applications: WAFs, anti-DDoS, bot management, and anomaly detection.
The scholarship seeks someone who has already decided to study computer science and wants to specialize in cybersecurity in a real-world production environment, with active clients and live traffic. These positions are crucial for ensuring a website doesn’t crash during peak traffic and for making the internet a little safer for its daily users.
An opportunity to learn from experts
The successful candidate will work alongside the Transparent Edge security team on configuration tasks for:
- Adjust WAF protection for each website by region, URL, cookie, or IP address, and define exceptions to eliminate false positives.
- Analyze traffic patterns to differentiate human visitors from synthetic traffic, and learn to distinguish an expected detour from a real anomaly.
- Participate, with the support of the team, in the response to security incidents.
- See firsthand how website traffic is protected, under the volume and pressure of a production environment.
You will gain concrete experience in cybersecurity and CDN solutions, you will have worked on systems tasks and resolved customer queries as you learn.
The Women at the Edge program
Women at the edge was born in 2022. Each edition, Transparent Edge partners with computer science training centers, including the University of Oviedo, to offer a technical specialization scholarship in cybersecurity and edge computing.
From its inception, the program facilitates access for women with a STEM vocation who have the desire and confidence to develop their career in this field.
Those who complete the scholarship gain the knowledge to manage the necessary measures to prevent threats, analyze them, and maintain the security of web infrastructure. This applies both to a provider like Transparent Edge and to any organization that uses a CDN: media outlets, streaming platforms, e-commerce, or e-learning, among others.
