  • Open-source component scans and SBOM generation
  • Automate vulnerability assessment and penetration testing where applicable.
  • Provide technical recommendations for mitigating identified risks.

2. Secure Development Lifecycle Support

  • Collaborate with development and product teams to integrate security throughout the SDLC.
  • Support threat modeling, attack surface analysis, and security risk assessments.
  • Contribute to secure architecture and design decisions.
  • Define, review, and improve security-related acceptance criteria and Definition of Done.

3. Governance, Risk, and Compliance

  • Support product and solution release processes with a security lens.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant cybersecurity standards and regulations including:
  • ISO/IEC 27001, IEC 62443, NIST SP 800 series, FDA pre/postmarket guidance, HIPAA/HITECH, IEC 81001-5-1, etc.

  • Create and maintain security guidelines, patterns, and reusable components.
  • Serve as a point of contact for security-related questions during development and support phases.

5. Incident and Risk Management

  • Participate in security incident analysis and support incident response efforts.
  • Assist in root cause analysis and post-incident improvements.
  • Monitor vulnerability databases and threat intelligence sources for emerging risks.

6. Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

  • Collaborate with Product Owners, Architects, Project Leads, and Regulatory Affairs.
  • Collect and share security-related lessons learned.
  • Participate in internal and external security communities and contribute to security maturity efforts.

Skills and Qualifications

Required:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong knowledge in application and system-level security.
  • Hands-on experience with tools such as Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Checkmarx, SonarQube, Snyk, Fortify, etc.
  • Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10, CWE/SANS Top 25, CVSS, and secure coding practices.
  • Scripting experience in Python, Bash, PowerShell, etc., for automation.

Preferred:

  • Experience in the healthcare domain or regulated environments.
  • Familiarity with standards such as IEC 62443, ISO 27001, NIST, FDA guidance for cybersecurity.
