Who We Are

Led by the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Technology Risk secures Goldman Sachs against hackers and other cyber threats. We are

responsible for detecting and preventing attempted cyber intrusions against the firm, helping the firm develop more secure applications and infrastructure,

developing software in support of our efforts, measuring cybersecurity risk, and designing and driving implementation of cybersecurity controls. The team

has a global presence across the Americas, APAC, India, and EMEA.

Within Technology Risk, Advisory is the consultative and technology subject matter expertise arm, responsible for assessing new technology initiatives for

risk, partnering with engineers to architect and design secure products and services, embedding implementation reviews as part of the SDLC and CI/CD

pipeline via code analysis and penetration testing, and guiding technology innovation in terms of security and control across Goldman Sachs. The team

plays a critical role in designing and assessing controls for our transition to building native public cloud applications.

Goldman Sachs has one of the most progressive Technology Risk teams in the industry and is continuing to push the development of risk in preference to

security within technology and the business. Year-on-year success has led the team to work deeper into the organization and gain valuable insights into

how technology needs to function, what its risk really is, and how this impacts the business.
