A Little About Us
When you impact millions of people every day, you become a large target for adversaries in all layers of the stack. Our job is to keep our users safe and make Yahoo one of the safest places on the Internet. We are the information security team at Yahoo. People call us “The Paranoids.”

• Prepare recurring reporting, including financial packages, and operational and security metrics.
• Analyze data from multiple sources and summarize findings for the team and leadership.
• Translate business needs into requirements engineers can build against.
