Security Research INTERN
Microsoft has advertised a Security Research INTERN opportunity at multiple locations in India under job number 200062560. The original posting date is 23 October 2026, and the official listing's application route was available when checked.
The role is marked fully on-site, with travel below twenty-five percent. It is not a work-from-home internship. Microsoft does not disclose a stipend amount, internship duration or fixed application deadline in the verified listing, so those details are not being estimated here.

The academic condition matters
The listed education route is enrolment in a bachelor's degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science or a related field. Applicants must have at least one quarter or semester remaining after completing the internship. This is an important restriction for students approaching graduation.
A person who will finish their programme before the internship ends should not assume that being a current student at the time of application is sufficient. Check the remaining-term condition against your university calendar and the dates discussed during recruitment. The public listing does not provide a graduation-batch shortcut that replaces this condition.
What security research work involves
The advertised responsibilities include investigating threats and vulnerabilities, analysing malicious activity and helping improve detection and remediation. The work connects research with practical security responses rather than simply operating a security dashboard without analysis.
Areas mentioned include adversary tracking, threat intelligence, malware and vulnerability analysis, and assistance with incidents. Coding and automation can support research and detection tasks. Applicants should explain genuine technical work and their reasoning, rather than rely on a list of fashionable cybersecurity terms.
The description does not promise that every intern will work on every type of threat or gain access to a particular customer system. Team allocation, project scope, supervision and permitted tools are matters to clarify through Microsoft's recruitment process.
Location, travel and undisclosed terms
The source states India, multiple locations, and fully on-site work. Do not treat “multiple locations” as permission to work from any city or from home. Confirm the assigned office and attendance expectations before accepting an offer. Travel is listed as less than twenty-five percent, not as a guarantee that no travel will be needed.
The stipend amount, currency/period of any payment, internship length and exact starting date are not published in the verified description. Jobsii is not importing compensation estimates from salary sites or other Microsoft internships. Ask the recruiting team for the actual written terms relevant to this requisition.
The listing indicates that applications remain open for a minimum of five days and continue until the position is filled. That is not a guaranteed long application window or a fixed closing date. A live opening can close after a team has enough suitable candidates, so apply through the official page while it remains available.
Preparing a relevant application
As optional preparation, choose a lawful security or programming project that shows how you investigated an issue, tested an idea and explained the result. A clear account of the question, evidence, limitations and your individual contribution is more useful than claiming experience you cannot demonstrate.
Only share code, reports or datasets you are entitled to disclose. Do not test systems without authorisation or publish confidential vulnerability details merely to strengthen an internship application. These are general application-safety recommendations, not additional Microsoft eligibility conditions.
Make your academic status easy to understand: degree, institution, current stage and the academic term that will remain after the internship. If dates are not yet fixed, ask for clarification instead of making a false availability declaration. Prepare questions about mentorship, project expectations, office location, start date, duration and compensation.
Apply using the official requisition
Use Microsoft's career page linked below and confirm the title and job number 200062560 before starting an application. The numerical page identifier in the URL is different from the displayed job number; use the displayed requisition when checking correspondence.
Read the complete current requirements, complete the official application steps and retain the acknowledgement provided by the employer. An application is not an offer, and Jobsii cannot guarantee an interview or selection. Avoid transferring money or sensitive credentials to people claiming they can secure the internship through an unofficial channel.
This summary is based on the full official listing checked on 24 October 2026. Availability and recruitment details can change. The employer's current page and any formal written offer govern the actual engagement.
