They also visited The Tech Museum to experience the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetech.org\/plan-your-visit\/galleries\/cyberdetectives\" rel=\"nofollow,noopener\" >Cyber Detectives Exhibit<\/a>, participated in a New Grad Panel, and networked with their teams from around the United States.<\/p>\n<p>We elevate this particular week during the internship program to give all of our interns the chance to meet HQ-based employees, network with executives, and see the bigger picture of Palo Alto Networks.
