Co-Op – IT – Technical Security
The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) applies cutting-edge technology to operating a reliable electricity system, managing competitive markets for wholesale electricity, and planning for the Empire State's energy future. The NYISO takes pride in recruiting, developing and retaining highly talented individuals. Our co-op programs give young professionals the opportunity to gain a fundamental understanding of New York electricity markets, bulk electricity systems and how we plan for New York State’s energy future.
The NYISO is seeking a Co-Op student to join the Technical Security to support enterprise security platforms, threat detection, security analytics, technical documentation, and operational improvement. The student will help document security-platform architecture and data flows, develop reports and dashboards, analyze alert trends, assist with threat hunting, and improve detection capabilities.
The student may work with technologies such as IBM QRadar, Microsoft Defender XDR, Tenable Security Center, Nessus, and Symantec Endpoint Protection. The assignment also includes opportunities to use PowerShell, Python, and Kusto Query Language and evaluate AI-assisted approaches for reducing repetitive security work and improving incident-response efficiency.
