Entry Level Information Security Intern Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level information security intern job?
Employers hiring entry level information security interns look for candidates who can demonstrate hands-on skills even without a long work history. A home lab, a completed CTF challenge, a relevant certification like CompTIA Security+, or coursework in network security signals readiness. Tailor your resume to each posting by matching the exact skills listed, and highlight any internship, class project, or volunteer IT work you have done.
Which companies hire entry level information security interns?
Companies hiring entry level information security interns right now include Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Infosys, and MedAire, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide mix of employers, including government contractors, healthcare systems, financial services firms, and technology companies that run structured internship programs for early-career candidates.
Are there remote entry level information security intern jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles remain common in this field given hands-on lab and compliance requirements. About 29% of entry level information security intern openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, so candidates who need location flexibility still have real options to consider when searching current listings.
Are these new grad information security intern jobs?
Yes, these roles include new grad, recent graduate, and junior positions. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or academic projects in place of full-time work history, or specifically mentions that a portfolio or certification can substitute for professional experience. Filtering for entry level listings is the fastest way to find roles built for new grads entering the field.
Which industries hire the most entry level information security interns?
Entry Level information security intern roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Banking & Financial Services, and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026.
