About the role
CISA is hiring current students enrolled in accredited educational institutions from high school to the graduate level for paid cyber/IT internships. If you are a student interested in the world of cybersecurity, then CISA is THE place to work! CISA is on the front lines working with industry and government partners to defend against today's cyber threats and build a more secure and resilient cyberinfrastructure for the future.
Our interns don't just sit behind a desk; they learn in a fast-paced, evolving environment. As a CISA cyber intern, you will grow your skills and enhance your career potential, as you work closely with cyber professionals on mission-focused projects. You will have a variety of robust and rich experiences, such as exposure to cybersecurity activities outside your immediate assignments, hearing program officials discuss major CISA and DHS initiatives to keep our nation's systems secure and meeting former CISA interns who are now CISA employees. You also can tour our labs, participate in informal brown bags with senior management and attend exciting local conferences and forums to hear from experts and newsmakers in other executive agencies, Congress, industry, academia, and think tanks about the importance of cybersecurity in safeguarding against threats to our nation.
