Vulnerability Research and Remediation: Investigate, reproduce, and validate reported security issues. Collaborate with development teams to design and review security fixes that meet product quality and reliability standards. Threat Modeling and Risk Evaluation: Lead technical assessments of emerging threats, evaluate potential attack vectors, and define practical mitigation strategies to improve product resilience. Automation and Tooling: Build and maintain tools or scripts that simplify vulnerability detection, configuration analysis, and security verification in engineering workflows. Mentorship and Security Advocacy: Coach developers and engineers on secure coding, threat awareness, and incident response fundamentals. Promote a culture where security is integrated into design and development from the start. Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the ongoing evolution of InterSystems’ security practices, incorporating lessons learned from testing, incident reviews, and emerging technology trends.
