Roles and Responsibilities:
- Security Architecture Design: Lead the design and development of comprehensive network security architectures, strategies, and roadmaps that align with business goals, industry best practices, and regulatory compliance (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR).
- Solution Evaluation & Selection: Evaluate, select, and recommend network security technologies and solutions, including firewalls (Next-Gen, Web Application), intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), VPNs, zero-trust network access (ZTNA), SASE, DDoS mitigation, and network access control (NAC).
- Policy & Standards Development: Define and enforce network security policies, standards, and guidelines across the organization, ensuring secure configurations and operational procedures.
- Security Assessment & Risk Management: Conduct thorough security assessments, vulnerability analyses, and risk evaluations of network infrastructure. Identify potential threats and propose mitigation strategies.
- Implementation Oversight: Provide technical leadership and guidance to implementation teams, ensuring that network security solutions are deployed effectively and adhere to architectural designs.
- Incident Response Support: Collaborate with the Security Operations Center (SOC) and incident response teams to provide architectural insights during security incidents and post-incident analysis.
- Cloud Security Integration: Design secure network architectures for cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), integrating cloud-native security services with on-premise security solutions.
- Troubleshooting & Optimization: Act as a subject matter expert for complex network security issues, providing advanced troubleshooting support and recommending architectural improvements for ongoing optimization.
- Documentation: Create and maintain high-level and low-level network security architectural diagrams, design documents, and technical specifications.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Communicate effectively with senior management, technical teams, and external vendors on security posture, risks, and strategic initiatives.
Preferred Candidate Profile:
- Network Security Expertise: Extensive hands-on experience in designing, implementing, and managing a wide range of network security technologies and solutions.
- Architectural Prowess: Proven ability to translate complex business and security requirements into scalable, resilient, and secure network architectures.
- Deep Technical Knowledge: In-depth understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF), routing, switching, and common network services (DNS, DHCP).
- Cloud Security: Experience with network security concepts and implementation within major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Cybersecurity Frameworks: Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks and regulations (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR).
- Problem-Solving: Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills with a strategic and proactive approach to complex security challenges.
- Communication & Leadership: Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to lead technical discussions, influence stakeholders, and mentor junior team members.
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related engineering discipline. Industry certifications such as CCNP Security, CISSP, CCIE Security, Palo Alto PCNSE, or similar are highly desirable.
