Our Mission

At Palo Alto Networks® everything starts and ends with our mission: Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

FLEXWORK is an employee-centric reimagining of how we work. We built FLEXWORK based on employee feedback – it is about flexibility, trust, and choice whenever possible. It’s been a journey of disruption that has yielded the best of our values. We offer as much flexibility as possible, and choices that enable you to be most productive, including benefits that meet your needs and learning opportunities that you feel passionate about.

Your Career

We expect office-based employees to be in the office three days per week, with one day working from where they choose. We believe being together facilitates casual conversations and those magic moments where we can work on issues and ideas informally. These moments build capability and deepen trusted relationships and allow our people to feel safe in taking risks and being disruptive. Like so many companies, we are working through the details and things could change …. but in general if a role is deemed office-based we want our teams to be together three days per week.

The ideal candidate is a quick learner and good communicator who will be able to follow established processes for analyzing threat alerts that fire from our SIEM. The candidate should be a creative thinker who takes pride in solving tough problems.

 Our Summer Internship Program from May-August or June-September provides you:

• 1:1 mentorship

• Fun and engaging events that inspire your intellectual curiosity

• The opportunity to expand your knowledge and work on challenging projects

• Connections to other interns, recent grads, and employees across the company as well as our leaders

Your Impact

• Analyze threat alerts in the SOC, using our own security products

• Perform weekly threat hunting assignments, in an effort to find threats missed by technology

• Help improve Palo Alto Networks’ products

Your Experience

• Working towards a Cyber Security, Computer Science, Information Technology or similar degree.

• Able to demonstrate and articulate past research or activities indicating interest and work in at least one of the subject areas above.

• Knowledge of the functionality and capabilities of computer network defense technologies is a plus but not required (including firewalls, IDS/IPS, antivirus, and Web content filtering)

The Team

The InfoSec team is responsible for architecting, designing and deploying security solutions using Palo Alto Networks platform components and third-party tools to mitigate threats, monitor corporate systems, and conduct incident response.

Our Commitment

We’re trailblazers that dream big, take risks, and challenge cybersecurity’s status quo. It’s simple: we can’t accomplish our mission without diverse teams innovating, together.
