Why did you choose Cognosante’s Internship Program?

My interest in Cognosante was sparked at my college’s career fair, where I overheard the University Relations Recruiting Specialist at Cognosante passionately discussing the company. I was drawn to Cognosante’s areas of focus and appreciated the company’s VIPS values which emphasize that everyone is valuable, innovative, capable of performing, and able to share knowledge. 

"I've been able to build many skills in cybersecurity. For example, I've participated in an audit, and learned about risk assessment, the cybersecurity framework, and various security controls. I've also sharpened my presentation skills so I can be more confident discussing cyber topics."
