What you'll do:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in enterprise environments through copilots, intelligent agents, and machine learning solutions. While AI delivers clear business value, it also introduces a new and largely unexplored attack surface. This assignment focuses on AI Security as a dedicated discipline and explores how organizations can securely design, deploy, and govern AI enabled workloads.
This internal Avanade internship will focus on developing a Proof of Concept and reference architecture for securing enterprise AI workloads using Microsoft technologies. The emphasis is not on building AI models, but on designing the security, governance, and control framework around AI, including identity, data governance, and responsible usage controls.
The result should provide clear guidance on how organizations can adopt AI safely and responsibly at enterprise scale, without limiting innovation.
AI is no longer experimental. In this internship, you will explore how enterprises can safely use AI at scale without losing control over data, decisions, and compliance. How do you secure something that thinks, learns, and assists everyone?
