Implement application-level security controls including input validation, output encoding, authentication/authorization mechanisms, session management, secure API design, and protection against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities

Provide specialized forensic analysis and incident response support including server/virtual machine reconstruction, security-focused data analysis, digital evidence preservation, and technical declarations for investigative or administrative matters

Coordinate with DHS OIG cybersecurity teams, privacy officers, DevSecOps teams, and Authorizing Officials to ensure integrated security posture, compliance with enterprise security policies, and alignment with continuous monitoring programs
