Bosshard & Partner is looking withMandate 2608 for a Firewall Security Expert (f/m)
Project environment
There are several firewalls controlling access to protected zones within a global Swiss Bank. 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. The bank has a remediation project funded which removes this risk.
Tasks
• Analyze rules on the firewall 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.
Requirements
• Experienced security engineer with firewall configuration and remediation background and a minimum of 5 years of experience in these topics.
• The project deals with a large firewall rule remediation for the Swiss restricted zone of the bank and requires a deep know-how of firewall concepts.
• Preferably the person has worked with firewall management tools such as Tufin.
• Preferably the person has worked in the financial industry.
Soft Skills
• Good communication skills. Very good language skills in English (written and spoken). German would be an asset.
• A person who can lead the application teams to come to a conclusion on the rules that can be dropped or transformed.
