Analyst – Cyber Security

Support the implementation and continuous enhancement of cyber security controls across applications, cloud infrastructure, Dev Ops pipelines, and operational environments by monitoring security risks, enforcing secure development and infrastructure practices, responding to security incidents, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to strengthen the organization’s overall cyber resilience and secure technology operations.

Design, implement, and maintain automated security checks (SAST, DAST, SCA) within the CI/CD pipeline to ensure vulnerabilities are detected and remediated early in the software development lifecycle, following the "shift-left" security approach

Partner closely with software developers to enforce secure coding standards based on frameworks such as OWASP Top 10, conduct security-focused code reviews, and provide real-time guidance on mitigating common application vulnerabilities.

Monitor and analyze security alerts across cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Oracle) using tools such as Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS Guard Duty and triage cloud security posture management (CSPM) findings by severity and exposure risk.

Work with the infrastructure and cloud platform engineering teams to scan and validate IaC templates (Terraform) for misconfigurations and policy violations before deployment, embedding security-as-code principles into infrastructure provisioning.

Enforce security controls for containerized workloads, including container image scanning, runtime protection, Kubernetes admission policies, and pod security standards, in collaboration with the cloud platform engineering team.

Implement and govern secrets management solutions (e.g., Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager) to prevent hardcoded credentials in repositories and ensure secure injection of secrets at runtime across development and operations environments

Monitor security systems (SIEM, XDR, IDS/IPS) to detect, triage, and respond to security incidents in a timely manner; perform in-depth log analysis, forensic investigation, and root cause analysis across both on-premises and cloud environments

Conduct threat modeling sessions with development and infrastructure teams for new applications, services, and architectural changes to proactively identify and mitigate security risks before they enter production.

Act as the security liaison across development, cloud platform engineering, and infrastructure teams; deliver security awareness training, conduct workshops on secure Dev Ops practices, and foster a culture of shared security responsibility.

Assess and secure APIs and microservices architectures by implementing API gateway security controls, authentication/authorization best practices (OAuth, JWT), rate limiting, and automated API security testing within the Dev Sec Ops  pipeline.
