Cyber Security Architect

Responsibilities:
• Champion DevSecOps through Security Automation: Leverage your full-stack development expertise to design, implement, and maintain security tools and automation. This includes building scripts to automate critical tasks like data security checks, vulnerability scanning, and user access control, streamlining security processes and improving overall efficiency.
• Monitor and analyze security events: You'll be responsible for monitoring security information and event management (SIEM) tools to identify potential threats and suspicious activity. This may involve analyzing logs, investigating alerts, and using your knowledge of security frameworks (NIST, CIS, CISA) to assess risk.
• Support secure application development: You'll collaborate with developers to ensure secure coding practices are followed throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). This might involve code reviews, threat modeling, and providing guidance on secure development principles.
• Investigate and respond to security incidents: In the event of a security breach, you'll be part of the incident response team, helping to identify the root cause, mitigate damage, and implement recovery procedures.
• Document security procedures and best practices: You'll develop clear and concise documentation for security policies, procedures, and best practices. This may involve creating training materials or user guides to ensure everyone understands their role in maintaining security.
