• Provide training and guidance to developers on secure coding standards, application security risks, and the effective use of security tools integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with DevOps and Security teams to implement and enhance DevSecOps practices, focusing on automation of security testing (SAST, SCA, DAST) within CI/CD pipelines.
• Drive automation initiatives for application security assessments, including: API security testing (authentication, authorization, rate limiting, sensitive data exposure)
• External exposure management (internet-facing asset discovery, attack surface monitoring, vulnerability identification)
• Integrate and maintain automated security tools for continuous assessment of applications, APIs, and externally exposed assets.
• Act as a liaison between development and security teams to ensure vulnerabilities identified through scans (SAST, DAST, SCA, API testing, external scanning) are tracked and remediated within defined timelines.
• Assist in identifying and mitigating application security risks, ensuring alignment with organizational policies and industry standards (OWASP, NIST, etc.).
• Track and report the status of vulnerability remediation and ensure timely closure of findings.
• Document security findings, automation improvements, remediation actions, and updates to the DevSecOps pipeline.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to perform root cause analysis, strengthen security controls, and continuously improve the application security posture.
