We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Prisma Cloud Security Engineer to join our cybersecurity team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing, implementing, and managing security solutions leveraging Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud platform across our cloud environments. This role requires deep expertise in cloud security best practices, a strong understanding of cloud native technologies, and the ability to enhance our overall security posture and compliance.
Roles and Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, and manage security policies and controls within Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud platform for multi-cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Configure and optimize Prisma Cloud modules such as Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP), Cloud Network Security, and Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM).
- Monitor cloud environments for security threats, misconfigurations, and compliance violations using Prisma Cloud alerts and dashboards.
- Respond to security incidents detected by Prisma Cloud, investigate alerts, and facilitate remediation efforts.
- Integrate Prisma Cloud with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI) to implement shift-left security practices (IaC scanning, container image scanning).
- Develop custom policies and compliance frameworks within Prisma Cloud to meet specific organizational and regulatory requirements (e.g., PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR).
- Collaborate with DevOps, SRE, and development teams to ensure security is integrated throughout the cloud development and deployment lifecycle.
- Perform regular security posture assessments and provide recommendations for improvement based on Prisma Cloud insights.
- Automate security tasks and workflows within Prisma Cloud for greater efficiency and faster response times.
- Provide expertise and guidance on cloud security best practices, native cloud security services, and emerging threats.
- Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for Prisma Cloud configurations, security policies, and operational procedures.
- Stay updated with the latest cloud security trends, vulnerabilities, and Prisma Cloud features.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- Proven experience in implementing and administering Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud.
- Strong understanding of cloud security concepts and challenges across major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Expertise in cloud native technologies such as containers (Docker, Kubernetes), serverless functions, and microservices.
- Experience with IaC (Infrastructure as Code) tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Azure Resource Manager.
- Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and integrating security tools into the development lifecycle.
- Familiarity with various security frameworks and compliance standards (e.g., NIST, CIS Benchmarks, ISO 27001).
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify security risks and propose effective remediation strategies.
- Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) and ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical teams.
- Relevant cloud certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Security, Azure Security Engineer) or security certifications (e.g., CCSP, CCSK) are a significant plus.
