A day in the life
The STRIKE team (Security Targeted Research, Insights & Key Engagements) is part of the Differentiated Security Team (DST) within Stores Security. We identify areas of differentiated and acute security risk across Amazon Stores and perform targeted engagements with business units to remediate that risk. Through these engagements, we accelerate store builders, improve their security maturity, and generate insights about the efficacy of self-service security that feed back into improving existing or investing in new security mechanisms.
Our mission: Remediate differentiated security gaps across Amazon Stores through targeted BU engagements while partnering with core security partner teams to improve existing mechanisms.
Our vision: Every differentiated BU security gap is reviewed and remediated.
