About The Position

Bloomberg’s Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC) plays a critical role in safeguarding the company’s digital environment, actively monitoring systems and networks for any signs of suspicious activity. When a confirmed incident occurs, CSOC leads containment and response efforts, formalizing lessons learned and hardening defenses against future attacks. CSOC Program Assurance ensures that the CSOC program is delivered in a structured, measurable, and reliable way. We partner closely with teams across the firm to improve our ability to detect and investigate security incidents, ensure the effectiveness of the security controls we rely on, and continuously strengthen our monitoring capabilities. On any given day, we may be overseeing cross-departmental initiatives, improving security monitoring processes, supporting our partners across the firm, managing vendors or audits, and reporting on CSOC health and effectiveness. A critical part of our mission is ensuring that the CSOC has complete, reliable, and high-quality security data. Our team works with system, application, infrastructure, cloud, and vendor partners to onboard the logs CSOC needs, verify they continue to flow as expected, and resolve issues when they do not.
