Research freedom with a cybersecurity lens
As a research intern, you are encouraged to define and shape your own research topic. Your topic is flexible, as long as it has a clear cybersecurity component.
At Accenture, we are structured around industries, supported by cross-cutting services and capabilities. This means your research can be positioned in multiple ways:
Industry-focused: Apply your research within one of our key industries:
Communication, Media & Technology (CMT), Products (PRD), Resources (RES), Health & Public Service (H&PS), and Financial Services (FS).
Example: Explore how retail organizations translate abstract cyber risk appetite into concrete governance mechanisms, controls, and decision-making processes.
Service / domain-focused only: Contribute to core cybersecurity domains such as Digital Identity, Cloud Security, Application/Platform Security, AI & Data Protection, Cyber Strategy & Risk or Cyber Defense.
Cross-industry and cross-service – Explore topics that connect industries and services, combining perspectives to address broader cybersecurity challenges. This is strongly encouraged, as many of our client problems span multiple domains and industries.
