- Implementation, Upgrades, Support & Troubleshooting
- Hands-on experience with cloud networking, Palo Alto firewalls in Azure & AWS, and segmentation platforms such as Illumio Core/Cloud and Guardicore (Akamai Segmentation)
- Implement and maintain micro-segmentation policies, including application dependency mapping, rule-set creation, and enforcement across hybrid workloads
- Experience designing and supporting segmentation architectures to enhance security posture and reduce lateral movement risks
- Strong understanding of zero-trust network segmentation principles and how they apply to enterprise network security
- Extensive experience implementing and maintaining firewalls and staying updated on newly released security vulnerabilities and their impact on the network
- Perform ongoing optimization of network security devices and segmentation platforms to ensure adequate capacity, availability, and scalability
- Implement, troubleshoot, and document network security infrastructures and segmentation deployments, including policy testing, traffic flows, and enforcement validation
- Expertise in modifying firewall rule sets, segmentation rules, changing security policies, whitelisting, content filtering, and troubleshooting traffic flows across firewalls, segmentation tools, routers, and switches
- Strong knowledge of Layer 4–7 app-aware firewalls and micro-segmentation traffic policies
- Establish and modify site-to-site VPNs and secure connectivity paths for segmented workloads
- Manage threat protection, URL blocking, IOC feeds, routers, switches, segmentation policies, and endpoint enforcement controls
- Periodically monitor firewall and segmentation agent health, performance, and capacity across global environments
- Participate in Change Management processes, including creating change requests, performing peer reviews, validating segmentation change impact, and executing firewall or segmentation modifications
- Develop detailed build and test plans for implementing firewalls and segmentation deployments
- Coordinate with IT teams to ensure standardized network and segmentation configurations, control frameworks, and enforcement practices
- Recommend enhancements to improve network reliability, segmentation accuracy, security posture, and operational performance
