Role Overview

This position builds and operates the enterprise Application Security program, using secure-development standards to improve application risk posture throughout the software development lifecycle. The analyst manages day-to-day application-security testing and triage, engages developers to support secure coding, and helps translate enterprise security requirements into practical testing criteria.

Key Responsibilities

Build and operate WPS’s enterprise Application Security program to reduce application risk by operationalizing secure-development standards, strengthening developer secure-coding practices, running application-security testing tools, and reporting outcomes to technical, managerial, and executive audiences.
Partner with Cyber Trust & Architecture to translate enterprise security standards into developer guidance and actionable testing criteria.
Work independently with developers to interpret application security findings and communicate risk across multiple levels of the organization.
Manage day-to-day application-security testing, triage, and developer engagement independently, while collaborating with Cyber Trust & Architecture on standards interpretation and with the Manager, Cyber Threat Management on program priorities.
Operationalize secure-development standards by strengthening secure-coding practices, executing application-security testing using approved tooling, and providing reporting to technical, managerial, and executive stakeholders.

Hands-on experience with application-security testing technologies such as SAST and DAST, including the ability to tune tools, independently validate findings, and translate cybersecurity standards and technical requirements into developer guidance and secure-coding training.
Proficient knowledge of common application vulnerabilities and attack techniques, potentially including Authentication / Authorization, Injection, Session management, API security, insecure dependencies, and related topics.
Knowledge of modern software development methodologies, CI/CD pipelines, APIs, and cloud-based application environments to integrate security testing into the development lifecycle.
Strong analytical skills to distinguish exploitable vulnerabilities from false positives and prioritize remediation based on actual risk.
