Work with Engineering and Security teams to identify, document, and track application security risks, including issues related to insecure design, weak access control, exposed secrets, vulnerable components, misconfigurations, and other common software risks.
Assist with reviewing application security findings, understanding risk context, coordinating with owners, and tracking remediation or accepted exceptions through closure.
Support basic threat modeling activities by helping identify application assets, data flows, trust boundaries, misuse scenarios, and potential security requirements.
Help promote awareness of common application security vulnerabilities, including OWASP Top 10 risks, secure coding principles, authentication and authorization concerns, input validation, data protection, and secure configuration.
Maintain clear documentation for application risks, remediation status, ownership, exceptions, timelines, and follow-up actions.
Support secure design and security review discussions for new features, product changes, integrations, and higher-risk application workflows.
Collaborate with Engineering, Product, IT, and Security teams to improve secure-by-design practices and reduce software risk over time.
Provide limited support to SOC/security operations when application-related alerts, incidents, or evidence require AppSec input, context, or follow-up.
