Accenture will give you the opportunity to gain knowledge with the most innovative tools, technologies and methodologies.

•  Team: In the Cyber Security department, the team is very diverse and ranges from junior consultants to senior managers who have gained knowledge from various (enterprise) projects. Our team consists of 100+ Cyber Security experts.
•  Daily tasks: Besides working on your thesis, we have an active intern community where you can gain knowledge about the latest cyber security developments. You are also free to explore and connect with fellow peers on specific domains or industries. We also have events with interesting guest speakers so you can learn more about Accenture.
•  Research: As a research intern, you will be given the freedom to write your own research proposal or choose the preferred domain/industry: Domains - Cyber Strategy, Cyber Protect and Cyber Resilience & Industries - Communication, Media & Technology (CMT), Products (PRD), Resources (RES), Health and Public Service (H&PS) and Financial Services (FS). These domains and industries are not siloed; cross-collaboration is not only possible, but highly valuable.
