Internship Cyber Security & Threat Intelligence Intern

ING Culture: How We Work

At ING, culture isn’t just a poster on the wall — it’s how we operate every day.

Ownership & Freedom: You get the trust and space to explore and take responsibility.

Open, Inclusive & Down‑to‑Earth: We value diverse perspectives and open communication.

Always Learning: Curiosity and continuous development are at the core of how we grow.

Making an Impact: Your work matters — what you build can be used globally.

The Team

At ING, we work every day to keep our people, buildings, and systems safe — both physically and digitally. Our Intelligence team sits right at that intersection. We collect and analyse threat information and are always looking for smarter ways to use that data.

• Build a proof‑of‑concept linking external threat feeds to ING’s physical security systems
• Analyze data to identify patterns, gaps, and emerging risks
• Develop three concrete use cases to validate your solution
• Create a risk profile for ING’s physical security infrastructure (2026–2028)
• Improve governance and risk‑related documentation

We don’t expect you to know everything — but we do expect curiosity, ownership, and the drive to figure things out. You’ll be supported by an experienced Intelligence Expert, while having the freedom to shape your project.

Rewards and benefits
