Cyber Security Engineer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently led a secure coding and testing initiative that cut vulnerability findings by about 40 percent in the first three months. In that time I focused on integrating secure development lifecycle practices with daily code reviews and automated scans, using industry-standard tools to catch issues early. I’m looking to bring that same level of discipline to [Company Name] and help the team ship safer software without slowing delivery. My background spans secure coding, security testing, and vulnerability assessments, with hands on work in code reviews and security controls integration. I’ve collaborated with developers to remediate issues, and I’ve helped shape secure API and library development. I’m comfortable with third party software assessments and applying security guidance across teams to support a cohesive DevSecOps approach. One memorable project involved a mid to large size web app where I implemented a secure lifecycle framework and formalised secure coding guidelines. We introduced automated static and dynamic analysis, performed frequent component and library risk reviews, and refreshed the threat model. The outcome was a more predictable release cadence with fewer security blockers during integration and deployment. I’m keen to discuss how my experience maps to the [Company Name] security program and the Cyber Security Engineer role. I’m available for a chat this week and can provide concrete examples from [Previous Company] to show how I would contribute. Kind regards, [Your Name]
