Role-Readiness Proof / Capstone
Build the security release-and-sustainment gate for a realistic connected or AI-enabled product. Produce architecture and data-flow diagrams, a threat model and secure-design decisions; integrate code review plus SAST/DAST/SCA/secret controls; generate an SBOM, provenance and signed artifacts; triage vulnerabilities by reachability and exploitability; justify cryptography, identity, network and TPM/secure-boot choices; run fuzz and adversarial tests including agent-specific abuse where relevant; define telemetry and release/rollback gates; then execute a simulated product-security incident through containment, remediation, coordinated disclosure and post-release sustainment.
Proof Rubric
- Show exploit-to-control evidence, not checklist compliance: identify meaningful trust boundaries
- move prevention into design and developer workflows
- demonstrate code, dependency, provenance and artifact evidence
- prioritize vulnerabilities using exploitability, reachability and customer impact
- defend crypto and hardware-root choices
- automate adversarial testing
- isolate agent/tool permissions where relevant
- and run an auditable incident-response lifecycle from detection through remediation, disclosure and lessons learned
