Cybersecurity Intern

** Position Overview
** Veradigm is seeking a motivated Cybersecurity Intern to join our Information Security team. This internship provides hands-on exposure to security operations, engineering, and cutting-edge AI-assisted tooling. You will work alongside experienced security professionals to protect healthcare data across complex cloud and on-premises environments — while developing practical skills that bridge traditional security disciplines with next-generation AI capabilities.
** Key Responsibilities
**** Security Operations & Monitoring
*** Support monitoring of data feeds from multiple security tools, correlating inputs into a cohesive picture to determine whether observed activity represents a false positive, an active external or internal attack, or accidental system access.
* Assist team members in rapidly triaging collections of data points to distinguish direct attacks, reconnaissance attempts, and false alarms rooted in unusual behavior patterns.
* Monitor outputs from audit and detection tools; communicate effectively to trace abnormal data points to root cause.
* Escalate findings appropriately and, where directed, take rapid steps to block potential risks to Veradigm data and services.
** Vulnerability Management & Application Security
*** Support execution of source code and infrastructure scans; collaborate with development and engineering teams to identify, document, and classify suspected vulnerabilities by risk level.
* Assist in documenting scan results and tracking corrective action plans designed by Security Engineers and Architects.
** Security Engineering & Tool Operations
*** Assist in the engineering, implementation, and operation of security tools and systems integrated across public and private cloud hosting environments.
* Support development and operational teams in the appropriate application of security best practices and advanced security technologies.
* Assist in the implementation of security solutions and help ensure the fidelity of alerts and reports flowing to the Security Operations Center (SOC).
* Participate in benchmarking, installation, configuration, and tuning of security tools under senior engineer guidance.
* Support day-to-day technical controls and escalation events from security tools and the SOC.
* Participate in the definition and documentation of SOC runbooks, processes, and procedures.
** AI-Assisted Security (Claude Code & Emerging Tools)
*** Actively engage with Veradigm's AI-assisted security initiative, with a primary focus on Claude Code to accelerate detection engineering, automate repetitive security workflows, and develop internal tooling.
* Collaborate with the security team to identify high-value use cases for AI in threat hunting, log analysis, runbook automation, and vulnerability triage.
* Prototype and document AI-assisted scripts, queries, and workflows; contribute findings and best practices to the broader security team.
* Stay current on developments in AI security tooling and bring forward relevant insights to support Veradigm's security program maturity.
** Qualifications
* *** Required
* ** Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
* Basic understanding of networking fundamentals, operating systems (Windows and/or Linux), and security concepts.
* Genuine curiosity about cybersecurity threats, attacker techniques, and defensive technologies.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to document technical findings clearly.
* Demonstrated interest in or experience with AI tools, automation scripting, or developer workflows.
** Preferred
* ** Familiarity with SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk), endpoint detection tools, or vulnerability scanners.
* Experience with Python, Power Shell, Bash, or similar scripting languages.
* Prior coursework or hands-on lab experience in incident response, threat intelligence, or ethical hacking.
* Experience working with large language models or AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Git Hub Copilot).
* Relevant certifications or coursework:
CompTIA Security+ or equivalent.
** What You'll Gain
*** Direct mentorship…
