Senior Associate, Cyber Governance & Risk - Cyber Exceptions Analyst

Security is essential to what we do at Capital One, from protecting customer data to the associate experience. As a Cyber Exceptions Analyst within the Governance and Risk division, you see security as an innovation enabler and differentiator, not just a step in the compliance process. You thrive working with business and technology partners to achieve goals and objectives in a secure manner. You’re constantly looking for ways to leverage modern technology architectures while understanding their security limitations. You enjoy solving tough cybersecurity problems in an iterative, team environment. You will help Capital One business application teams navigate through tough compliance challenges and help steer them towards fulfilling Capital One’s cybersecurity standards and protocols. 

You are pragmatic and practical in your understanding of software development and IT operations, and have experience with industry risk frameworks and models including, but not limited to, NIST, FedRAMP, and MITRE ATT&CK. You possess a technical understanding of software engineering best practices, cloud infrastructure, security scanning and detection tools, data protection, and tool configuration management.

At Capital One, you will be a vital contributing member to a team responsible for reviewing Cyber Exceptions - scenarios in which Capital One business teams cannot adhere to Capital One requirements and security controls. You will be working to identify cybersecurity gaps and trends all while solutioning on how to address them, to include highlighting the need for new or enhanced projects that create business value and reduce critical cyber risk. You are pragmatic and practical in your understanding of security and associated risks, but also willing to know when to pull in experts to inform your recommendations and escalate when necessary. You will be working directly with application developers, coders, Information Security Officers, and Capital One’s cybersecurity leadership team to seek input, socialize proposed solutions, and facilitate agreement on next steps.
