- Implement IaC policy enforcement using tools such as tfsec, Checkov, or OPA.
- Embed security gates and practices early in the software development lifecycle.

4. Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Management

- Conduct or coordinate regular penetration testing using tools like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, or via third-party assessors.
- Manage end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle, from discovery through remediation.
- Translate findings into developer-friendly guidance and track fixes to closure.

5. Continuous Improvement & Security Awareness

- Stay current with cloud security trends, vulnerabilities, and threats.
- Drive security awareness training and contribute to improving engineering security hygiene.
- Influence architectural decisions by embedding security principles into project planning.
