Application Security Tester

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Perform SAST/SCA/DAST scans using industry vulnerability scanner 
• SAST/SCA – Veracode, using supplied compiled binary, configure scan platform to correct scan for both static code CWE’s as well as SCA derived CVEs.   Work will include coordination with app owner to ensure all branches of code are included in compiled binary file. 
• DAST – Work begins with crawling the target application to identify existing directory and file structure.  Once identified, execute DAST scan using HCL product to identify dynamic issue only visible during code execution. 
• During testing process, tester MUST ensure application is not degraded and/or taken out of service due to scanning activities 
• Tester must ensure results from scanner are present in VM reporting platforms and visible to approved app users 
• Perform manual validation and false-positive analysis on the automated scan results.   
• Provide remediation support will analyze the top-rated vulnerabilities along with provide support to application teams on remediation strategies from identified risks. 
• Execute scan retest by performing revalidation tests of previously identified critical and high severity vulnerabilities as requested by the client application teams. 
• Author complex application testing and remediation/mitigation recommendations
• Technical leadership of group of testers.
