Collaborate with vendors and internal teams to ensure seamless tool integrations, support ticket management, and continuous improvement of scanning processes.
DevSecOps Implementation:
Integrate security practices into CI/CD pipelines by embedding automation and agile scanning tools throughout the development lifecycle.
Apply DevSecOps methodologies to continuously monitor, detect, and remediate vulnerabilities as part of the development process, ensuring that security is an intrinsic part of the software lifecycle.
GitHub Advanced Security:
Utilize GitHub Advanced Security to perform code scanning and ensure that vulnerabilities are identified and communicated early in the development cycle.
Collaborate closely with development teams to remediate issues identified by GitHub Advanced Security and to implement best practices for secure coding.
Security Monitoring with Microsoft Sentinel SIEM:
Utilize Microsoft Sentinel SIEM for continuous security monitoring by configuring alerts, correlating log data, and analyzing potential security incidents.
Investigate alerts and security incidents, providing detailed documentation and remediation action plans.
Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement:
Work with application teams and business unit owners to generate risk assessments and submit risk letters aligned with the organization’s IT Security and Risk Management Framework.
Coordinate with core network, endpoint, and server teams to address patching priorities, target patch levels, and specific CVEs associated with identified vulnerabilities.
Compliance & Continuous Improvement:
Keep up-to-date with the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) and web application vulnerability assessment methodologies.
Demonstrate hands-on expertise with DAST, SAST, and SCA tools while continuously seeking opportunities to refine and enhance overall security posture.
