What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in information security intern jobs.
- Pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in cybersecurity, computer science, or a related field
- Hands-on experience or coursework in network security, firewalls, or intrusion detection systems
- Familiarity with security tools such as Wireshark, Nessus, Splunk, or Metasploit
- Knowledge of operating systems including Windows, Linux, and macOS in security contexts
- CompTIA Security+, CEH, or equivalent certification completed or in progress
- Ability to obtain or current possession of a government security clearance for federal roles
Tips for Your Information Security Intern Job Search
Tailor your resume for security tools
List every security tool you've touched, even in a lab or coursework context. Hiring managers scan for specifics like Wireshark, Nessus, Splunk, or Burp Suite. A vague 'network security experience' line won't compete with a named tool and a concrete use case.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists information security intern openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Flag your certifications in your title line
If you hold CompTIA Security+, CEH, or even have passed the first exam of a multi-part cert, put it in your resume headline. Recruiters screening information security intern applicants treat certifications as a fast proxy for baseline technical credibility.
Target openings that match your clearance status
Defense and federal contractor roles often require an active or adjudicated security clearance. Filter your search by clearance requirement early so you don't invest time in applications that need a clearance you don't hold yet.
Prepare for a technical screening, not just HR
Most information security intern interviews include a hands-on component. Expect questions about the OSI model, common attack vectors like phishing or SQL injection, or a short CTF-style challenge. Review fundamentals you covered in coursework and be ready to walk through your reasoning aloud.
Follow up with a specific technical reference
After your interview, send a brief follow-up that names one technical topic you discussed and adds a detail you didn't get to cover. It signals genuine interest and reinforces your technical depth, which differentiates you from candidates who send a generic thank-you.
Information Security Intern Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most information security interns?
The companies hiring the most information security interns right now include Bank of China USA, Interactive Brokers, and Medpace, with the largest share of openings in Ohio, Connecticut, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Defense contractors, large financial institutions, and enterprise technology firms consistently post the highest volume of information security intern roles.
How many information security intern jobs are remote?
About 50% of information security intern openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, though the share varies significantly by sub-field. Roles focused on threat intelligence analysis, security policy writing, and compliance tend to offer more remote flexibility, while positions involving hands-on lab work, penetration testing infrastructure, or classified systems are almost always on-site.
How do you become an information security intern?
Start by building foundational knowledge through a degree program or self-study in networking, operating systems, and security principles. Complete at least one recognized certification such as CompTIA Security+ to validate your baseline. Set up a home lab or use free platforms to practice skills like packet analysis and vulnerability scanning. Then apply to internship postings that match your current tool experience and clearance status.
Can you get an information security intern job with little experience?
Yes, you can land an information security intern role with limited professional experience if you can demonstrate hands-on competency through other means. Capture-the-flag competition results, a GitHub repository showing security scripts or labs, a home network project, or a completed certification all substitute effectively for paid work history. Entry-level postings at smaller firms and managed security service providers are typically more open to candidates still building their resume.
What does the information security intern interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a recruiter screen covering your background, coursework, and tool familiarity. A technical interview follows, often including questions on networking fundamentals, common vulnerabilities, and how you'd respond to a specific attack scenario. Some employers add a practical component such as a short CTF challenge or a live walkthrough of a tool. Final rounds may involve a hiring manager conversation focused on judgment and communication.
Where can I find and apply to information security intern jobs?
You can find and apply to information security intern jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your skills, clearance status, and preferred location, then apply directly to each one that fits.
