Information Security AI Strategy Intern

The Nielsen Company • New York, NY

About The Position

We are seeking a high-caliber, inquisitive intern to perform a comprehensive audit of our existing Information Security technology stack through the lens of Artificial Intelligence. Your mission is to identify manual, high-friction, or data-heavy security processes and design AI-driven frameworks to automate or enhance them. This is not just a "shadowing" role; you will be responsible for building a roadmap of five high-impact AI implementation projects that will influence our security strategy for the coming year.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Data Science, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of core security concepts (Networking, IAM, OWASP Top 10).
• Foundational knowledge of AI/ML concepts (Prompt engineering, RAG, or data analysis).
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Tech Stack Audit: Perform a deep dive into our current security tooling (SIEM, EDR, Firewall, IAM, and GRC platforms) to understand data flows and manual touchpoints.
• Gap Analysis: Identify "toil"—repetitive tasks performed by security engineers—that are ripe for optimization via Machine Learning (ML) or Large Language Models (LLMs).
• Use Case Development: Research and design five specific project proposals. This includes defining the problem statement, the AI/ML approach (e.g., NLP for policy review, anomaly detection for logs), and the expected ROI.
• Feasibility Assessment: Evaluate the data privacy and security risks associated with deploying AI within the security stack (e.g., prompt injection, data leakage).
• Stakeholder Briefing: Present your final "AI in Security" roadmap to the CISO and senior leadership.

Benefits

• Holistic Rewards: We are committed to an inclusive benefits package that supports our employees and their families. This includes comprehensive health and wellness plans, a 401(k) with a Nielsen company match, and a generous paid time off policy.
• Depending on the role, additional benefits may include a company-provided vehicle and/or discretionary incentive/bonus eligibility.
