Threat Modeling Operations Manager

Threat modeling is a framework for risk discovery and management and is the practice of examining software and systems to identify and eliminate insecure patterns as early as possible. Threat modeling ensures that software and systems continue to evolve securely as new features are added and the cyber threat landscape evolves. Threat models can be used to provide context and drive prioritization decisions across the software delivery lifecycle and the cyber security and risk management domain.

The Enterprise Threat Modeling Program consists of an Operations team and a Tools Engineering Team. In this Threat Modeling Engineer role you will report to the Operations team lead, and you will develop and leverage your skills as a threat modeling subject matter expert.

The Threat Modeling Operations team works to fully embed threat modeling into Capital One's software delivery and risk management processes. Working in this team you will help establish threat modeling best practices, and evolve governance and education for those practices. This will require you to collaborate closely with the Information Security Office and Engineering teams to support the adoption of threat modeling. In order to support the adoption of threat modeling you will collaborate with the organization's education team to provide training materials, and you will produce best practice whitepapers, blog posts and presentations that raise awareness of threat modeling.

You will be required to partner with other areas of the Cyber organization to develop processes for threat models to be consumed to inform and provide context for other Cyber processes (e.g. application security testing, alert and response playbook definitions, red team activities, risk assessments etc). You will work on initiatives to integrate threat modeling with risk management processes within Capital One.

You are pragmatic and practical in your understanding of risk and security, but also willing to know when to pull in experts and escalate. You collaborate and innovate with other teams within Capital One to push the envelope.
