Technology Consulting interns are hired into one of the eight specific solution segments, including:

• Business Platform Transformation:  The Business Platform Transformation segment focuses on delivering the right technology solutions to meet a client's functional needs through facilitating application strategies, providing development innovations and commercial application implementation services, and ensuring security, compliance, and sustainability of solutions.  The team supports organizations along their end-to-end transformation journey, delivering tailored modern application solutions to optimize business processes in advisory, development, deployment, or support capacity.

• Emerging Technologies Group:  Covers a wide range of work, including Internet of Things (IoT) penetration testing, intelligent automation, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and quantum computing. This team specializes in conducting a variety of penetration testing approaches such as hardware, web/mobile applications, Bluetooth, and other RF technologies. The devices this segment has historically tested have been primarily medical devices/telecom/consumer product-related; however, the rapid growth of IoT devices presents an opportunity to test several types of devices as they emerge.

• Enterprise Cloud:  Works with business and technology stakeholders to help shape and modernize technology in the cloud. The cloud team focuses on providing robust offerings to help organizations build their cloud strategy plans and roadmap, implement and migrate to the cloud, and become more efficient and optimized using the cloud.

• Enterprise Data and Analytics:  Works on the process of harnessing data (internal and external to the organization) to generate valuable insights that can drive the operations and strategy of an organization. Various disciplines are involved in Enterprise Data & Analytics, including data source identification and analysis, data engineering, data visualization, and data science/machine learning. The disciplines range from gathering and preparing the data for consumption to consuming this data to diagnose issues, predict future outcomes, and provide prescriptive solutions to challenges in the organization.

• Microsoft: With a unique blend of industry and technology expertise, Microsoft helps organizations drive greater value in their Microsoft investment. Working closely with Microsoft as Protiviti’s premier ecosystem partner, the team helps clients execute strategy by harnessing the power of Microsoft to enhance collaboration and increase productivity through modernization initiatives across both the business and technology. The Microsoft team works closely with Protiviti solution and industry teams to provide end-to-end support by understanding specific client needs and tailoring appropriate solutions using Microsoft technologies.

• Security and Privacy:  Helps organizations prevent theft or help protect sensitive data and assets. The Security and Privacy team builds partnerships by conducting risk assessments and technical testing, identifying security weaknesses in client systems, and providing strategic recommendations to deal with vulnerabilities and enhance overall cyber security posture. They help organizations prepare for and detect cyber-attacks or other crisis events and take necessary corrective steps in real-life situations.

• Technology Risk and Resilience: Works with business and technology stakeholders to enable competitive advantage by managing both technology risk and organizational resilience across the organization. We do this by promoting a cohesive culture that enables the building of consistent and resilient business practices within a mature risk management program. The team is skilled in all phases of risk and resilience, from understanding global regulatory requirements and leading practices to designing and implementing right-sized capabilities throughout the business, technology/ cybersecurity, and third-party risk management lifecycles. This team is well-positioned to identify risks, translate those risks into actionable needs, and deploy skilled delivery teams to operationalize as needed.

• Technology Strategy and Architecture: Helps clients understand and improve how they use technology and how technology can enable them to meet their big-picture strategies. The Technology Strategy and Architecture team works closely with all other technology-related practices at Protiviti because we help their leadership plan and strategize. Our Transform Program Execution sub-segment team works with the Enterprise Application Solutions leaders when they are implementing a new tool and need assistance with project management for that implementation.

Meaningful onboarding.  Impactful training.  Foundational learning.  These experiences define Protiviti’s award-winning internship – an experience that builds upon your skills and knowledge and enables you to thrive professionally.
