We’ll keep on sharing the internship stories. This week, we had a great conversation with our former intern Aksel, who is working at Cybernetica full-time now. He told us about his internship experience as an Analyst.
The season of internship is about to start, and many students are looking for future career opportunities. It’s very important to us, at Cybernetica, to get to know our potential team members.
To shed light on our interns’ experience, and give some insight into, what it’s like to go through internship at Cybernetica, we put together a blog series. In this post, we’ll focus on the position of Software Tester. We will talk to our interns, and full-time employees now, Evelin and Siim, who were so kind to share their stories. So, let us guide you through their expectations, thoughts, and results from the internship.

Information security management, risk assessment and risk management get a lot of attention in the business circles - so much so that sometimes it seems a tower too high to climb. We have listed seven practical guidelines to take into account regarding information security in any company.
In our everyday lives, we have to manage risks constantly. Going down the stairs there is a possibility to slip and fall, riding a car may get you into an accident, the groceries you buy may be out of date and give you food poisoning.
And yet, despite all the risks, you do take the stairs, get into a car and eat. Why on Earth?
Recently, during an eID ecosystem demo, a presenter took the Estonian national eID card of her two year old toddler and did log into the Estonian State Portal - to demonstrate the endless possibilities of Estonian eID ecosystem to our honourable guests. These possibilities are endless, indeed.
Some 20 years ago Bruce Schneier warned against creating your own cryptographic algorithms at home. The original story was titled “Memo to the Amateur Cipher Designer”. The popularity of the topic has not fallen since then, and the Google search “Never roll your own encryption” will still result in multiple hits.
