Are you seeking an environment where you can apply the latest computer science techniques to secure the systems driving every order that Amazon ships to our customers? At Amazon, we are obsessed with customer trust. Information Security enables Amazon business leaders to secure the confidentiality and integrity of Amazon and customer data. We assess risk, classify data and systems, detect potential intrusion, and render useless the value of data that may be leaked.
