With 2,500 employees located around the world, we're small enough for you and your contributions to be known. But big enough for your ideas to make an impact.

And we're looking for more.

We are looking for motivated and talented students who want to help us solve some of the most complex challenges in financial technology. The Global Information Security (GIS) team is a critical component of our Technology division. They are focused on delivering a safe and secure environment for the operation of our markets.

GIS interns will gain an unparalleled experience in financial technology. Interns will help protect and ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our global assets.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to prepare an organization to respond to cyber-attacks? CME Group is looking for a motivated intern with a deep interest in cybersecurity topics and trends to join the Cyber Exercise Program (CEP) and IT Risk Management Teams.

The intern will split time between two teams in CME Group's GIS Department. The role will provide experience in two different methods CME Group uses to prepare its technical systems and people for cyber-attacks.

CME Group's Cyber Exercise Team is responsible for the planning, design, and execution of strategic and operational cyber exercises which can include simulations, workshops, tabletops, and functional exercises. The exercises test CME Group's incident response plans and the resiliency of CME Group's people, policies, and processes against realistic, simulated cybersecurity events.

CME Group's IT Risk Management Team measures the risk of security concerns identified by leadership, cyber intelligence, and IT. The team describes how the concern could manifest at CME Group, defines the impact and likelihood of the concern occurring. The information is documented in a risk assessment that also identifies control gaps and makes recommendations to mitigate the identified gaps.

As a GIS intern, you will coordinate with internal subject matter experts and third parties to support the development of plausible attack scenarios informed by internally and externally researched risks and trends. You will gain firsthand experience in turning those scenarios into either well-documented plans for an exercise or into a risk assessment.

To be successful in this role a candidate must be organized, a team player, and able to balance work requirements from multiple managers. Candidate will lead information gathering sessions with SMEs, participate in the generation of risk assessments, facilitate a cyber exercise, and present their work to GIS leadership.
