Our organization is responsible for creating and maintaining a high bar for security across all of Amazon’s products and services.

Security is critical to Amazon’s customer trust. The Amazon Security Platform Engineering team develops and operates tools used by Amazon security professionals to protect Amazon data.

This work includes our own cross platform security client, the AWS cloud infrastructure to support distributing policy and gathering telemetry from clients, as well as an internal intelligence catalog service that gathers inputs from many sources that feed into the policy distributed to clients.

We utilize many different AWS services to build our APIs, UX, and infrastructure. We primarily use Python and Go languages for our infrastructure and we build our cross-platform security client using Go. We work with many internal partners to expand the functionality of the tools we offer to better protect Amazon data and systems.
