Job Description

Overview

At KPMG, you\'ll join a team of diverse and dedicated problem solvers, connected by a common cause: turning insight into opportunity for clients and communities around the world.

Do work that matters, supported by a community that values difference and cares about you. Gain learning that\'ll last you a lifetime and be recognized for the impact you make. With a focus on encouraging employees to come as they are, KPMG provides its employees with a variety of unique tools and support systems that ensure they thrive and make their mark in their career and in their communities.

Why KPMG Cyber Security?

At KPMG, our business-savvy cyber security professionals understand that businesses cannot be held back by cyber risk. They recognize that cyber security is about risk management - not risk elimination. As part of the cyber security team, you will work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients to work through strategy and governance, organizational transformation, cyber defense and cyber response.

Strategy and Governance:

Focusing on security needs versus wants, our teams build enterprise-wide security strategies that help to move organizations from reacting in crisis mode to having a proactive, value-added business solution.

Transformation :

Delivering large-scale transformation programs through global service and methodology / tool alignment to help build and improve programs and processes.

Defense:

Helping clients maintain an information protection agenda as their business and technology programs evolve and provide greater visibility and understanding of changing risks.

Response:

Exercising experience in investigations, digital forensics, and recovery, which can help organizations secure evidence, understand what happened, mitigate risks, and support internal, legal and or law enforcement inquiries.

KPMG Cyber Security has an exciting opportunity for Risk Consultants (Intern/Co-op) to join our team for 4-12 months starting in May 2023!

** Please note that you must be enrolled in a Canadian post-secondary educational institution to be eligible for this opportunity.

What you will do

In KPMG\'s Risk Consulting practice, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team, equipped with deep sector knowledge, and use superior cyber security knowledge and solutions. You will work directly with your clients to help assess and enhance their cyber security posture and ultimately enable confidence that their cyber strategy, cyber defense and cyber response capabilities will protect their business and support their growth strategies.
