Role Overview Allianz Group is developing the Allianz Security Operations Center (ASOC ) as an integrated capability bringing together threat intelligence, travel security, physical security, executive protection, incident response, and crisis management, with the objective of progressively building scalable 24/7 operational capacity for both man-made and natural risks. In a fast-changing and increasingly volatile environment, Allianz considers this capability a strategic imperative requiring concrete action, sustained commitment, and strong operational leadership. The ASOC will strengthen Allianz Group’s ability to anticipate, monitor, respond to, and recover from disruptions by integrating intelligence and operational capabilities and progressively expanding toward continuous, follow-the-sun coverage.
