WORK HISTORY
Security Engineer @Quest Software
Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC): Played an integral role in incorporating security best practices throughout the entire software development lifecycle—from initial planning and development to post-release support—ensuring robust security integration at every stage.• DevSecOps implementation: Implementation of DevSecOps practices to integrate security into SSDLC process. Implementing DAST, SAST and SCA scans• Vulnerability Management: Reviewed Vulnerability scanners and penetration test findings to evaluate potential risks. Collaborated closely with developers to address security gaps, providing actionable justification as to why certain vulnerabilities must be mitigated• Security Scanning Tools: Leveraged advanced tools like Coverity, Whitesource by Mend,Nessus, Acunetix, LogicGate, Qualys, and Burp Suite to conduct thorough vulnerability scans. Translated scan results into actionable tasks, improving application security.• Secured multi-cloud environments (Azure, AWS) by implementing robust security measures, including policy automation using DevSecOps practices• Consolidated and managed vulnerability findings from multiple security tools (e.g, Qualys, Burp Suite, Coverity) into a centralized platform, streamlining reporting and remediation processes.• Implemented and tracked the Policy as Code initiative Project. Process Change of deployment of policies using manual method to deployment using Azure Devops Pipeline. This initiative increased our secure score by 20% organization wide• Delivered expert consultation on information security programs, ensuring alignment with business objectives, regulatory standards (e.g, SOC2, ISO 27001, FedRamp, M365 ACAT), and contractual obligations.• Threat modelling exercises executed before any new application is released. Using Microsoft STRIDE methodology to identify potential risk and vulnerabilities before application is released to consumers
