Information Security InternJob Description
If you’re a 3rd or 4th year student who’s curious about cybersecurity, excited by AI, and ready to apply what you’ve learned in the real world — this internship is built for you.
At People Inc., we don’t just publish content — we power decisions for nearly 200 million people every month across iconic brands like PEOPLE, Better Homes & Gardens, FOOD & WINE, Investopedia, Verywell, and more. Behind the scenes, our Information Security team protects the technology, data, and digital platforms that keep those brands running safely and securely. Now, we’re looking for a driven student to join us.
This isn’t a “shadow and observe” internship. You’ll:
Work on real security challenges in a large-scale digital media company
Build hands-on experience in security operations, AI security, cloud security, and security governance
Learn directly from experienced security professionals
Contribute to projects that impact the entire enterprise
Graduate with practical, resume-ready experience in modern security environments
You’ll rotate across core areas of security and see how an enterprise-wide security program operates from the inside.
Explore how AI and Machine Learning can improve threat detection and automate security workflows
Help shape guidelines for safe and responsible use of Generative AI and LLM tools across the company
Experiment with emerging AI security use cases in a real-world environment
Write scripts (Python, Go, etc.) to automate repetitive security tasks
Work with APIs and analyze large security datasets (logs, alerts, telemetry)
Help streamline processes and make the team more efficient
Investigate real security alerts
Support incident response efforts under expert guidance
Participate in threat hunting activities across the organization
Gain exposure to multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)
Learn how modern infrastructure-as-code and DevSecOps principles are applied in practice
Work with Product, Engineering, IT, Legal, and Privacy teams
Help embed security early in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
See how security aligns with business goals in a large organization
Assist with internal audits and security framework activities
Help run phishing simulations and awareness campaigns
Support brand protection and intellectual property monitoring efforts
You’re a motivated 3rd or 4th year student!
You likely have:
Enrollment in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical program
Coursework in networking, operating systems, or cloud fundamentals
Experience with a scripting language (Python, Powershell, or similar)
Interest in AI/ML, data science, or prompt engineering
Exposure to concepts like Zero Trust, IAM, DevSecOps, or cloud security
You stand out if you:
Build projects outside of class
Like solving puzzles and digging into how systems work
Stay current on cybersecurity news and emerging threats
Want to move fast, learn quickly, and contribute meaningfully
You’ll work on real systems — not simulations
You’ll see how AI is actually being applied in enterprise security
You’ll gain exposure to multiple security domains, not just one niche
You’ll leave with practical experience that employers are actively looking for
If you’re ready to turn your coursework into real-world impact and take the first serious step toward a cybersecurity career, we’d love to meet you.
