DevSecOps Engineer

Secrets Management (Vault/AWS SM)

Why: You can move a team from secrets in environment files to dynamic Vault or Secrets Manager credentials with rotation, and stop leaks in pipeline logs.

Artifact Signing & Provenance (SLSA)

Why: You can sign build artifacts and verify provenance at deploy time, so a tampered dependency or compromised build step is rejected rather than shipped.

Cloud Security Posture Management

Why: You can set up automated remediation and a single governance view across several clouds, deciding which fixes are applied automatically and which need approval.

Network Security Automation

Why: You can manage firewall rules, security groups and Kubernetes network policies as code, so a micro-segmentation change is reviewed, tested and reversible.

Container Runtime Security (Falco)

Why: You can use Falco to detect a container escape attempt or unexpected shell, and decide the automated response, such as killing the pod and capturing evidence.

API Security Testing (DAST)

Why: You can run DAST and fuzzing against a staging API in the pipeline and catch broken authorisation that static analysis cannot see.

Compliance as Code

Why: You can encode a regulation such as encryption at rest as an automated check with continuous monitoring, so non-compliance shows up as a failing build.

Audit Trail Automation

Why: You can build immutable, tamper-evident logs of deployments and approvals so that, after an incident, you can prove who changed what and when.

Security Champions Program

Why: You can recruit and train developers as security champions in each squad, so threats and scanner findings are handled inside the team instead of queueing at security.

Threat Modeling Integration

Why: You can add a lightweight STRIDE step to design reviews so a new feature gets threat modeled before coding, with outputs developers can act on.
