As a Field Security Engineer at Checkmarx, I prove out various Application Security Testing use cases and build custom solutions for enterprises. These Proof-of-Concepts primarily include the implementation of various AST technologies, including SAST, IAST, SCA, and DAST into various CI/CD pipelines and other SDLC processes. Aside from constructing implementation use-cases, I also work with customers to provide secure coding practices, review code and vulnerabilities, customize vulnerability queries for better code coverage, and provide training around the exploitation of vulnerabilities in applications, best practices for integrating AST tools into a DevOps environment, and how to customize security scans to produce high fidelity results. Below are some notable projects I’m proud of:- I wrote a custom BASH and Powershell script capable of kicking off Static analysis scans in various pipelines to automate vulnerability analysis of new source code. - I participate as an active design partner for our SAST, SCA, and CodeBashing products specializing in improving how we identify vulnerabilities in source code. - I provide training on finding and exploiting vulnerabilities to the rest of the engineers through presentations, demos, and labs. - I create feature requests and open bugs on current offerings based on security findings during penetration testing of internal products.
