Job Description

Team
At ING, we believe it’s your ideas, not your age that matter. As part of our team, you’ll work in a dynamic, international environment where you learn at a fast pace and be hands-on from the start.

Cybersecurity is of the highest priority. A critical component of this is effective vulnerability management; ensuring that security vulnerabilities are identified, prioritized, and mitigated in a timely and coordinated manner across teams.

But where does the vulnerability management process break down in practice? In this internship, you will contribute to answering this question through an empirical research project focused on ING’s vulnerability management process.

Role and responsibilities

• Mapping ING’s formal vulnerability management process together with domain experts

• Analysing a provided sample of vulnerability data to identify patterns and inform research focus

• Investigating bottlenecks in patching and remediation processes, cross-team coordination challenges, and knowledge gaps and process deviations

• Comparing documented process vs. actual practice

• Developing actionable recommendations to improve patching adherence, process efficiency, and cross-team collaboration

How to succeed

To take on this challenging and rewarding opportunity, you’ll need:

• Master or Bachelor (final-year) student in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field

• Strong interest in security, risk management, or software engineering processes

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including interest in qualitative research methods

• Strong communication skills

• Fluency in English (Dutch is a plus)

Rewards and benefits

This is a great opportunity to train with highly skilled people who are experts in their field. You’ll do a lot and learn a lot – not only about your specialist area and the bank, but also about yourself and whether this type of environment is right for you.

You’ll also benefit from:

• Internship allowance of 700 EUR based on 36 hours work week

• Your own work laptop

• Hybrid working to blend home working for focus and office working for collaboration and co-creation

• Personal growth and challenging work with endless possibilities

• An informal working environment with innovative colleagues
  

During the duration of your internship at ING, it is mandatory to be enrolled at a Dutch university (or EU-university for EU passport holders).
