Stores Security
Amazon develops products and services that transform the way customers live. Across teams and geographies, we strive to delight customers and earn their trust.

From drones to grocery stores and everything in between, our mission is to assess risk, classify data and systems, detect potential intrusion, and respond quickly to security events across Amazon’s critical business functions, including Retail, Customer Service, Worldwide Operations, Consumer Payments, Physical Stores, and Healthcare. We collaborate with business teams across Amazon to build security best practices into their mechanisms. Together, we are building (and securing) the future, one innovative product, service, and idea at a time. The scope and scale of what Amazon does to delight customers challenges all Amazonians to be resourceful, invent and simplify, meet high standards, and embrace change.
