Job Description

The growth of digital, mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) is bringing payments to millions of new connected devices—and millions of new potential entry points for cybercriminals. Today’s criminals are relentless in their attempts to exploit vulnerabilities with increasingly sophisticated malware, social engineering, and brute force attacks. To protect Visa’s assets in this dynamic threat landscape, we’re deploying new cyber-security tools, collaborating across industries, and taking a proactive approach to monitoring the cyberspace beyond the Visa network.

We have matured from a compliance-driven organization to an agile one that can actively defend against threats and proactively manage risk for the enterprise. To maintain our impressive track record of zero breaches to the Visa network, we must stay vigilant in tracking our adversaries and evolving our approach to thwart new and emerging attack vectors.
