About the team
Builder Tech Operations (BTO) team partners with cross-functional field enablement teams to navigate vendor relationships and AppSec's requirements when on-boarding a new tool, vendor, or service.
The BTO team is dedicated to ensuring that our 3rd party vendors operate to the highest standards required to maintain and enhance internal and external customer trust. The team focuses on verifying the security of vendor services and systems before they are released to AWS employees, as well as the continuing governance after the vendor has been approved. We do this by proactively, retroactively, and continuously looking for security vulnerabilities in processes and procedures. This includes developing run books, threat models, and providing reviews of vendors in production, and performing red team activities.
