Principal Associate, Cyber Risk & Analysis

Capital One is one of the fastest growing organizations in the world today. The growth of the business is being accelerated by leveraging innovative and emerging technologies. We are serious about technology, we dream big, and we execute: Capital One moved our entire enterprise to the public cloud over the course of five years, fully exiting our data centers. Just as we prioritize driving innovation through technology, we equally prioritize cybersecurity and managing technology risk. Cybersecurity Risk professionals at Capital One are trusted expert advisers who shape decisions, challenge activities to ensure they meet our standards, and generally oversee technology, cybersecurity, and information security risk across the business and the central technology organization.

Cybersecurity risk and analysis plays a critical role in ensuring that the company’s risk-taking entities are aware of the risks inherent in their activities and decisions, the impact of their actions on the company at an enterprise level, and opportunities to reduce, mitigate, or avoid the risks altogether. Associates are highly-skilled and have a wealth of experience and a demonstrated ability to provide value added recommendations and deliver high-impact results in the cybersecurity domain areas.

Cybersecurity is a strategic priority at Capital One, with heavy engagement from the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, and the executive committee. By joining Capital One, you will be providing these executives with the trusted, independent voice they need to ensure our company’s cybersecurity risks are appropriately managed.
