Firewall Security Specialist - English Speaking Contract in Zürich/iET

For a global bank here in Zurich we are looking for a Security Specialist to work on a project.

THE JOB:

There are several Firewalls controlling access to protected zones. 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. Our client 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

WE ARE LOOKING FOR CANDIDATES WITH:

- Experienced security engineer with Firewall configuration and re-mediation background and a minimum of 5 years background in this space
- The project deals with a large Firewall rule re-mediation for the Swiss restricted zone of our client and requires a DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF FIREWALL CONCEPTS.
- It also comprises close collaboration with the applications in scope that the rules apply to.
- We thus require a person with good communication skills who can lead the application teams to come to a conclusion on the rules that can be dropped or transformed
- Preferably the person has worked with Firewall management tools such as TUFIN
- Preferably the person has worked in the financial industry or on large scale complex systems
- This contract is English speaking.
- German is nice to have.
