"My biggest takeaway from the DIS internship is building a diverse skill set, from technical expertise to soft skills. With the guidance of experienced colleagues, I developed a solid foundation and applied my computer science knowledge to real-world challenges, exploring its versatility across different fields. With digital warfare and growing cyber threats, I’ve come to appreciate the vital role the DIS plays in defending the digital domain."

This internship offered valuable insights into both DXO and military careers."
