Information Technology and Cyber Risk Management Analyst Intern, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, United States
Posted August 14, 2020
Description:
It seems the banking industry is always on the forefront of technological innovation — from mobile banking applications to digital wallet services, web-based services, chat bots, and wireless transactions – not to mention the technology they use for their own internal operations. These services provide many benefits to consumers and banks, but they also pose the potential for significant and persistent risks.
As an Information Technology and Cyber Risk Management Analyst for the FDIC, you will help the agency actively monitor cybersecurity risks in the banking industry. Here are a few ways our analysts apply their skills:
- Participate in examinations to ensure that financial institutions and service providers of client banks are appropriately managing their exposure to cybersecurity risk;
- Verify that bank management has considered how cyber events could disrupt their operations and has designed resilience into their operations; and
- Identify irregularities, weaknesses, and deficiencies, and evaluate bank management’s ability and willingness to correct those issues
We now live in a world of ever-increasing cybersecurity risks. In the banking system, the consequences of not controlling that risk can be severe, spreading globally by the minute or the second. Join the FDIC as an Information Technology and Cyber Risk Management Analyst and protect our nation’s financial system from cyber threats.
In addition to exposure to the latest in financial technology, the FDIC offers a competitive salary, a generous benefits package, and much more.
