Network Security Role

Description

Top Three Skills Handson experience setting up and configuring Checkpoint, Fortinet, TippingPoint firewalls. Handson experience with Firewall, NAT, defining and implementing policy, ACL software. Broad knowledge on networking layer protocols like TCP/IP and multicasting. Job Description For the separation, we have very defined security parameters. As you split them across two different companies, this person will help secure and define the right policies.
For us, we try to align applications to a new IP address plan, in secured departments. The person involved would help to push policies to firewalls, ports, and protocols. This person will work hands on with applications teams. We have tools that help define those protocols, I'm a realist so I know we cant solely depend on tools alone do the job.
So we have an environment of checkpoint and fortnet firewalls, which will be their primary focus. We have other areas that focus on Tipping Point, intrusion prevention. We have tools like Firemon. Firemon would be a great perk if you have someone with that experience, but not necessary. This person will be provided an output, and they will need to implement. The exact process will vary depending on each situation as we have some 500 different sites. If they have a firewall or lab that is also secured, they will update that policy to reflect new IP and connectivity behind that. They will then coordinate with the network team to ensure that connectivity remains. So far, struggling to find security experts. They can't answer deeper technical questions on policy, lots of fluff on their resume. You will find out through questioning that they did not touch fornet firewalls, they were on a team that did that and that person didn't define policy.
