About the Team The Network Security team delivers innovative solutions to sophisticated challenges, serving as a critical component of the Workday Security organization's mission to ensure the security and safety of Workday customers, users, and their data. We design, build, and operate critical security controls for customer data environments, overcoming constantly shifting — and exciting — technical challenges to ensure trust in the Workday service. Our team is responsible for operating the systems and controls that we build, advising other Workday business units on ways to securely implement services and infrastructure, and partnering with our information security team to ensure policy compliance and address gaps. We operate data centers and cloud environments across the globe and are constantly improving our network security posture and capabilities. Over the next year, we are focused on delivering scalable network security controls such as web application firewalls for customer data environments, improving platform resilience and the consistency of security controls across the enterprise, and leveraging AI and agents to accelerate how we deliver effective solutions for all of Workday's customers. Our team is spread across the US and EU, and though we connect mostly virtually, we love sharing in each other's successes, celebrating wins, and embracing fun with informal team meetings and activities. We genuinely enjoy getting to know each other beyond our technical skills — because great work is even better when you're part of a great team.
