About the team
Working in partnership with our stakeholders, we secure the Amazon supply chain end-to-end and promote security in business decision-making conversations. We do this by preventing Security and Loss Prevention-related risks and vulnerabilities as early as possible, intervening in unfolding incidents in order to minimize any negative impact as well as thoroughly investigating security-related incidents in order to identify and remove root causes, preventing reoccurrence.

The Resilience team creates and maintains a Resilience framework to ensure continuation of our business, providing risk oversight, risk preparedness, contingency planning and incident response as a service to Business and operational Security & Loss Prevention Teams. The Resilience team provides strategic, tactical and operational mechanisms by working closely with global and regional business leaders and support functions.
The team leverages global and regional Risk & Resilience (R&R) teams to monitor existing and evolving threats, assessing risk level changes in order to drive increased preparedness and enable business adaptation and or absorption of changing risk conditions, including response and recovery activity to manifested incident and crisis events.
