What a Product Security Engineer does
Product security engineers secure the software a company builds and ships, as distinct from its corporate IT or its security operations center. They are responsible for finding and preventing vulnerabilities across the development lifecycle through design reviews, threat modeling, code review, security testing and tooling that developers will actually use.
