Information Security Intern
During Summer 2025, I interned in the Risk Management division of the Information Security Office at Cencora, a global pharmaceutical solutions company headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. I was part of the Cybersecurity Risk team, which focuses on identifying, tracking, and mitigating security risks across the enterprise.
In this role, I supported efforts to improve data integrity within internal risk management platforms, contributed to process documentation, and participated in daily team operations. My responsibilities included conducting cross-functional interviews with security leaders, remediating data quality issues in risk records, assisting with executive risk reporting, and helping organize documentation within Microsoft Teams. One of my key projects involved developing a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for tracking and escalating Red Team findings, which established a clear, repeatable process for managing offensive security observations. I also explored areas outside of my core responsibilities by attending sessions with the Threat Management team, where I learned more about penetration testing and threat simulation.
This internship strengthened my technical, communication, and documentation skills, deepened my understanding of enterprise cyber risk management, and reinforced my passion for offensive security. I’m excited to share that I was offered an extension to continue my internship through the Fall 2025 semester, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to keep learning and contributing to Cencora’s cybersecurity initiatives. I also look forward to applying my experience in my upcoming course, Managing Enterprise Cybersecurity, to further expand my knowledge in this field.
