Students selected will be notified in February and serve from March 1-November 1, 2026. Interns chosen are expected to be available to set up and attend the full Summit event in October. Specific dates and the Twin Cities-area venue will be posted here when confirmed.
The CSS internship is an unpaid position. Interns receive a complimentary 2026 Cyber Security Summit VIP All Access Pass. Additional invitations to year-round industry meetings, networking events and other career activities support each student’s professional development. The CSS intern program format includes a mentorship element and a broad forum that enables connections to public and private sector cybersecurity executives, and representatives.
