Specifically, roles involve providing 'expert support is provided to various product/project teams', 'review vulnerability and compliance scanning results', 'Perform threat assessments and threat models of MDA systems/products', 'Develop and maintain all security related system artefacts', and 'Monitor computer networks for security events or threats'. However, explicit AppSec-specific programs like Security Champions, shift-left practices (IDE/CI/CD specifics), or vulnerability management SLAs, triage workflows, or MTTR targets are not publicly available.
