Our Cyber Security Team:
Embarking on a career with our Cybersecurity Services team offers you the opportunity to help organizations strengthen their security posture and protect against evolving threats. As businesses embrace digital transformation, the volume of data shared across enterprises, partners, and customers grows exponentially. Our team plays a critical role in ensuring clients are secure by designing strategies that integrate identity and access management (IAM) solutions, implementing technologies, and optimizing cybersecurity investments. We also focus on detecting, responding to, and mitigating risks effectively.

For more information on our services please visit our KPMG Cybersecurity Services.

As a Co-op Student, you’ll work as part of a team of problem solvers with deep consulting and industry expertise, helping clients address complex cybersecurity challenges from strategy through execution.
