Cybersecurity - DevSecOps

Role Description

The Cybersecurity DevSecOps Engineer at Thales plays an important role in integrating security into the system lifecycle, ensuring secure, compliant and resilient systems. This role focuses on vulnerability management, configuration audits, compliance monitoring, and threat detection to mitigate risks across Thales’ IT and OT environments.

The Cybersecurity DevSecOps Engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams (DevOps, SOC, IT Operations) to automate security controls, enforce hardening standards and security audit log configuration, correlation and alert rules, ensuring adherence to global and regional compliance frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST, Singapore’s CCoP, ICT&SS).

Skills, Responsibilities and Activities

Vulnerability Management. Skills include: be able to understand vulnerability scan reports to be able to identify, assess and remediate security vulnerabilities to reduce exposure to cyber threats. Activities include:

· Vulnerability Analysis & Prioritization: Process scan reports (using tools such as Nessus, Nmap, Trivy) to identify critical/high-severity vulnerabilities.

· Assess risks using CVSS, EPSS, KEV, SSVC methodologies, prioritising remediation based on business impact and exploitability.

· Remediation Support: Collaborate with the relevant engineering teams to apply patches, workarounds, or mitigations.

· Validate fix effectiveness and track remediation progress

Reporting & Documentation.

Skills

be able to draft clear, actionable reports summarizing:

· Vulnerability details (CVE, affected systems, risk level).

· Recommended hardening rules or corrective actions.

· Risk analysis (likelihood, impact, business context).

· Present findings to stakeholders (IT, Security, Management).

Audit& Monitoring. Skills include ensuring systems are securely configured and monitored for threats. Activities include

· Configuration Compliance Reviews. Validation of host configurations (RHEL, Windows, Databases, Network Equipment) against:

· CIS Benchmarks

· Thales-specific hardening standards

· Other standards as required ie STIGs (Security Technical Implementation Guides)

· Identify misconfigurations and recommend corrective actions.

Integration and Hardening. Skills include ability to integrate, applying hardening benchmarks as well as customized hardening configurations to COTS products (Operating systems & network equipment) and verification of hardened configurations. Activities include:

· Selecting hardening frameworks CIS, defining custom configurations for the environment

· Application of customised hardening using automation tools

· Integration and verification of Cyber requirements for Cyber COTS (such as IAM, PAM, SIEM, EDR,EPP, Keys management, Firewall)

· Verification of hardening baseline during vulnerability scans and test campaigns

SIEM Log Enhancement and Analysis. Skills includes Audit log tuning, analysis and acknowledge of alert frameworks. Activities include:

· Advise on logging improvements for better threat detection (e.g.,missing logs, false positives/negatives).

· Support SIEM rule tuning, advising on the optimisation of correlation rules to enhance alert accuracy in QRadar/Splunk, reducing falsepositives and improving threat detection.

· Align rules with MITRE ATT&CK framework and threat intelligence feeds.

· Analysis of SIEM/SOC alerts to determine:

· Legitimacy (true positive vs. false positive).

· Severity (using MITRE ATT&CK for classification).

· Required actions (containment, remediation, escalation).

Governance & Compliance. Skills include knowledge of regulatory and internal security standards, ensuring their adherence. Activities include:

· Compliance Monitoring, tracking adherence to frameworks such as:

· Global: ISO 27001, NIST, ITIL

· Regional (Singapore): CCoP (Cybersecurity Code of Practice), ICT&SS (Infocomm Technology & Security Standards)

· Maintaining audit evidence for compliance assessments.

· Standards &Policy Support, assisting in security standards change analysis (e.g., updates to CIS, STIGs, or Thale’s policies).

· Ensuring DevSecOps practices align with corporate governance requirements.

· Risk & Gap Analysis, identifying gaps between current state and required compliance levels.

· Propose mitigation strategies to close gaps.

On-Call Support. Activities Include:

· Provide on-call support as required to the customer when restored.
