Navigating a career fair for math/statistics majors?

So I understand that math/statistics can be applied to many different fields. I am getting my undergraduate degree in statistics and I will be attending a career fair later this month to look for a possible summer internship. However, I’m not exactly sure what companies or which industries to approach. None of them actually list “statistics” in the industry, but things like “computer software and data processing” or “financial services” or something very general like that.
So for what industries should I approach?

PS I would like to pursue a masters degree in biostatistics after graduation. Most entry level jobs and internships are more directed towards masters students so I don’t think I am qualified for those.
