- This role isn’t just about privacy or AI - it’s about earning trust with some of the most security-conscious organizations in the world and helping us scale responsibly
- Own and manage the company’s global privacy and compliance framework, including policies, templates, processes, and ongoing updates
- Work closely with our product, engineering, and security teams to provide guidance on issues related to privacy and AI throughout the entire product development lifecycle process

- Develop internal playbooks and training to raise awareness of privacy and AI considerations
- Provide practical guidance to both product and corporate executive teams with respect to evolving AI, security, privacy, and other data laws
Our take
Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated. For example, zero-day cyberattacks leverage vulnerabilities that are unknown even to the users and creators of a system. Tens of billions of dollars are being invested in protection, but OPSWAT delivers security solutions that nip the need for extra cyber defence in the bud.
The company's products focus on threat prevention, enacting a zero-trust mentality to ensure that technology systems are watertight from threats. For example, OPSWAT's MetaDefender platform incorporates advanced malware threat protection to detect vulnerable files and emails, as well as software, before it is even installed.
It’s this philosophy of “Trust No File, Trust No Device” that makes OPSWAT such a robust partner for the likes of AMEX and the United States Department of Justice. In addition to cyber protection products, the company also helps train future cyber defenders through its academy, which has trained 70,000 professionals so far.
