Cyber Security Intern
We care about cyber security and it's critical that we protect our data and systems. You’ll receive specific cyber security training and projects to work on, so you can develop your skills and knowledge. You’ll work as part of a global cyber security team, collaborating with, and learning from, a range of specialists.
Our cyber security team protect our organisation. We use the latest technologies to increase visibility and protection of systems, services and data. To do this, we need to stay ahead of the latest threats and continuously improve our tooling, procedures, and processes. We work collaboratively with our software and systems engineering teams to support security throughout the development lifecycle. We also build proactive monitoring and responses to security events.
During your 10-week paid summer programme, you’ll have a broad range of responsibilities. Your placement will be in one of our security functions, ranging from security operations to vulnerability management, security testing, or monitoring and capability. You’ll have the opportunity to work on incident response, security platforms, cyber assurance and much more. You’ll also contribute to a global cyber defence effort by evaluating, securing systems, and responding to incidents.
A successful internship with us can guarantee your place on our Technology Cyber Security Graduate Programme when you graduate - before you’ve even started your final year of study.
Who we are looking for
We’re looking for interns who want to be part of a cross-functional, diverse and global team. While it’s not essential you have a degree in computer science or a Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subject, you must be able to demonstrate your technical ability and a passion for cyber security. This is assessed during the application process.
