Firewall Specialist Zurich Interim

Firewall Specialist

My client a leading consultancy are looking for an experienced Firewall Specialist to their tema for global Bank based in Zürich.

Start Date: ASAP

Initial contract goes until the end of the year. Possible renewals for the right candidate.

THE ROLE

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.

YOU WILL

*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

*Make suggestions on how to further improve the Firewall settings

YOU NEED

*Experienced security engineer with Firewall configuration and remediation background and a minimum of 5 years background in this space
*The project deals with a large Firewall rule remediation for the Swiss restricted zone of our client and requires a deep know 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 before
*English is a must to have. German is nice to have.
