At Disney we’re storytellers. We make the impossible, possible. The Walt Disney Company is a world‑class entertainment and technological leader. Walt’s passion was to continuously envision new ways to move audiences around the world—a passion that remains our touchstone in an enterprise that stretches from theme parks, resorts and a cruise line to sports, news, movies and a variety of other businesses.

Uniting each endeavor is a commitment to creating and delivering unforgettable experiences — and we’re constantly looking for new ways to enhance and protect these exciting experiences.

• Analysis of known and emerging threats to determine risks against TWDC assets
• Creation, maintenance, governance and communication of security policies and standards across TWDC
• Assessment and audit of compliance against the security policies and standards
• Assurance that TWDC assets are effectively managed and monitored to meet TWDC security criteria
