Firewall Security Expert (2035)

Beschreibung

For a project at our banking client in Zurich we are looking for immediate support in the form of a

Firewall Security Expert (2035)

to analyze the firewalls which control the access to protected zones. There are additional firewalls providing ancillary services. These firewalls have a large number of rules, some of them obsolete and partially overlapping. This makes it hard to understand which access is allowed and which access is blocked. As a consequence it is difficult to ensure that data is properly protected and that only those connections are open that should be open.

To assist the current team we are looking for an experienced expert who will:
• Analyze rules on the firewalls based on statistics and other information
• Work with the application teams to understand the impact of rule changes
• Propose changes or drops of rules
• Implement the rule changes and track outcome together with the onsite project team
• Make suggestions on how to further improve the firewall settings

To fulfil these task you meet the following requirements/experiences:

• Experienced security engineer with firewall configuration and remediation background and a minimum of 5 years background in this space
• The project deals with a large firewall rule remediation for the Swiss restricted zone of the banking sector and requires a deep know of firewall concepts.
• It also comprises close collaboration with the applications in scope that the rules apply to. We thus require a person with good communication skills who can lead the application teams to come to a conclusion on the rules that can be dropped or transformed
• Preferably experience with firewall management tools such as Tufin
• Preferably experience in the financial industry
• English is a must, German is nice to have

If you consider yourself the ideal candidate, we look forward to receiving your application in word format on
