Junior Web Security Analyst
The primary responsibility of the Junior Web Security Specialist is to ensure the highest level of web-based application protection without impacting availability of services for legitimate users. This includes responding to and escalating blocked requests, working directly with the customer or partner to determine the legitimacy of blocked requests, tuning the Web Application Firewall (WAF) to allow valid requests, and augmenting the WAF to provide coverage for previously undetected attacks. Additional responsibilities include conducting manual and automated vulnerability scans to assess the effectiveness of recently created or modified rules. A comprehensive list of analyst activities is available in section 2.2 regarding service scenarios.
