Your mission
As Software Security Architect you will be responsible for defining, documenting and managing the application of policies, best practices and processes related to software security for the OuterNET™, both for in-house and externally developed software. As such, you will work in close collaboration with the Software Team, as well as with the Security Architects.
In more detail, the job encompasses the following tasks: Security Policies:
- Establish a code of conduct that includes security awareness and compliance requirements for developers
- Define access controls to restrict access to sensitive code repositories and development environments
- Clearly define how sensitive data is handled throughout the development process and establish guidelines for data encryption and protection
- Develop an incident response plan outlining the steps to be taken in case of a security incident during development
Best Practices:
- Adopt secure coding standards (e.g. OWASP), to minimize vulnerabilities in the code
- Implement regular code reviews to identify and address security issues early in the development process
- Regularly scan and update third-party dependencies to address known vulnerabilities and security patches
- Ensure strong authentication and authorization mechanisms are implemented in the SW to control access to systems and data
- Ensure that the principle of least privilege is applied in the development environment
- Identify vulnerabilities and propose remediation actions at different stages of development (e.g. by ensuring both static and dynamic code analysis are conducted)
- Define all relevant security aspects into the DevOps pipeline to automate security testing and ensure continuous security monitoring throughout the development lifecycle
- Provide regular security training for developers to keep them informed about the latest security threats, best practices, and compliance requirements
- Ensure that configurations for servers, databases, and other components are securely managed and regularly audited
Processes:
- Incorporate threat modeling into the design phase to identify potential security risks and design countermeasures accordingly
- Implement a robust vulnerability management process to identify, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities promptly
- Develop a secure release management process to ensure that only thoroughly tested and secure code is deployed to production
- Implement continuous monitoring to detect and respond to security incidents in real-time
- Conduct regular compliance audits to ensure that development processes align with industry regulations and organizational security policies
