Job Description
Cybersecurity is evolving fast, driven by AI, cloud, digital identity, new regulations, emerging technologies and increasingly sophisticated threats. Join us in turning these challenges into practical solutions for leading organisations. If you are curious, solution-oriented and ready to learn by doing in an international environment, this internship is your opportunity to help secure what comes next.
Your Job
Contribute to real client challenges and help translate business needs into secure, resilient and pragmatic solutions.
Work alongside multidisciplinary teams to analyse security issues, shape recommendations and support the design or implementation of solutions.
Build hands-on experience through research, threat modelling, assessments, workshops, prototypes or client-ready deliverables, depending on your assignment.
Discover the breadth of cybersecurity—from securing digital foundations and shaping strategy to building trusted identities and defending organisations against evolving threats.

Your assignment will depend on your interests, skills and the opportunities within the team. You could contribute to projects such as:
Helping secure cloud platforms, applications and digital workplaces by assessing risks and recommending practical controls.
Supporting a cybersecurity strategy, risk assessment, regulatory readiness initiative or security transformation roadmap.
Improving how organisations manage identities, access rights and privileged accounts for employees, customers and partners.
Assessing vulnerabilities, strengthening cyber defence or helping organisations prepare for, respond to and recover from incidents.
Researching an emerging security topic, including AI where relevant, and translating your findings into a client-ready recommendation or prototype.
Whatever the topic, you will be supported by experienced colleagues and given the opportunity to take ownership of a meaningful outcome.
Your team
Our Security practice brings together four connected capabilities—Secure Digital Core, Cyber Strategy, Risk & Architecture, Identity & Trust, and Cyber Resiliency & Defense. In short, we help organisations build securely, make smarter decisions, create trust and stay ahead of threats.
You will be part of a close-knit local team connected to a global community. We combine meaningful work with a strong team spirit through regular practice events, informal gatherings and shared learning moments. Experienced colleagues will coach you, while giving you the trust and space to contribute your own ideas and deliver visible outcomes.
