Nelnet is seeking a motivated intern to join our Security Analysts team, where you will engage in meaningful work that contributes to our business objectives. As a student loan servicer and technology company, we pride ourselves on being more than just a financial service provider; we are innovators in the education sector. In this role, you will work closely with various business lines and our IT shared services team to determine, implement, and define security measures and processes necessary to protect our organization effectively. Your responsibilities will include performing application and environment security testing, conducting automated static and dynamic code analysis, and developing internal automation and integrations with security services. You will also collaborate with development teams to enhance application security through training, code reviews, and the promotion of best practices. In addition to technical skills, you will need to demonstrate a solid understanding of security products, processes, and protection measures. Staying updated on the latest breach trends, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures is crucial. You will administer, test, implement, and maintain security products and processes to protect our information systems from modification, disclosure, or destruction. Engaging with both the business and user community to understand their security needs is also a key aspect of this role. You will review, analyze, implement, and administer vendor and internally developed security software to meet security requirements and participate in risk assessments and security enhancements. This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a dynamic environment while receiving one-on-one mentorship and participating in intern-specific programming. You will be part of a team that values innovation, agility, problem-solving, collaboration, and strategic focus, all while working in a casual dress environment with a flexible schedule.
