Having already blocked 278,000+ non-compliant resources before they reach production, this team builds proactive, automated security at massive scale. The Cloud Operations Resilience Engineering (CORE) Technology division is responsible for enabling and evolving Capital One’s foundational cloud infrastructure layer, including observability, connectivity, resilience and availability.
