Below are some of the core responsibilities but not limited to:
  1  Integrating security features in the software development life cycle and Identification and probable security risks, with their mitigating strategies for the entire S-SDLC.
  2  Implementation of security controls and Monitoring of the threat to security related to SSDLC.
  3  Ensuring regulatory compliances for standards of security.
  4  Proficient in uniting cross-functional teams and communicating clearly, while fervently pursuing knowledge of the latest trends and technologies in security.
  5  Build in security early and often within the SDLC, so each of the phases identifies and mitigates the risks in the process.
  6  Cultivate a security culture within the organization: every stakeholder should know their responsibilities with the SSDLC
  7  Automate everything in the security testing and deployment process that you can possibly automate, as more likely to be driven by human error.
  8  Take a security risk-based approach, focusing on all important but most critical assets and vulnerabilities.
  9  To leverage IaC (infrastructure as a code) in a more consistent and efficient way to put up secure environments.
  10  Regular Assessment, and penetration testing should help in identifying any exposure for the improvement of security posture.
  11  Help in sharing knowledge and best practices between the security, development, and operation teams to achieve true collaboration. Monitor the environment from any security threat and respond promptly to incidents or breaches.
  12  Utilize a security-centric DevOps toolchain to integrate security testing, deployment, and processes smoothly.
  13  Integration of security into the SDLC will ensure developed software complies with some security standards and regulations, for example, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, etc.
