Our local client is seeking a security-focused individual with a risk mindset to contribute to various security initiatives. The role primarily involves working on key projects such as upgrading the existing checkpoint firewall environment, optimizing firewall rules, and providing security expertise to other teams including Security Operations Center (SOC), Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). The candidate will be responsible for enhancing the overall security posture of the organization and ensuring that security measures are effectively implemented across different platforms. The ideal candidate should possess recent experience with checkpoint firewalls, particularly on R80+ versions, and hold relevant certifications such as CSSE or above. Additionally, the company is open to considering candidates with broader next-gen firewall knowledge. Experience with cloud security posture management is also crucial, especially using tools from major cloud providers like Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. The candidate should have a strong network background and a solid understanding of servers and endpoints, as well as experience in operational technology (OT) and manufacturing environments where segmentation services using firewalls are provided. The role requires the ability to self-manage projects and informally lead or train others. Candidates with additional security certifications will be viewed favorably. This position is expected to involve being on an on-call rotation after two to three months of employment, reflecting the dynamic nature of the security landscape and the need for responsive support.
