A day in the life
The AGS Security Solutions Architecture team is the trusted security partner to some of AWS's largest and most security-conscious customers in North America. We hold the security relationship and security agenda continuously, helping customers design, operate, and advance their security programs on AWS across multi-year journeys, securing new workloads, navigating the use and integration of new services, and keeping pace with an evolving threat landscape.
The work spans the boardroom and the keyboard in the same week: framing a Zero Trust or AI-security roadmap a CISO can defend to their board, leading a hands-on architecture review with their engineers, and publishing guidance the security community uses to strengthen their defenses. We lead with prescription over generic advice, stay a step ahead of fast-moving threats and technology, and trust every person to carry the most senior security conversations with the customers we support.
