  • Produce comprehensive high-quality documentation, architecture diagrams, and presentations while supporting the development of cybersecurity documentation, policies, standards, and procedures.
  • Utilize your knowledge of application security frameworks, guidelines, and best practices such as NIST CSF & SSDF, OWASP SAMM, BSIMM, and similar standards to identify gaps and drive improvements in the S-SDLC.
