Security Consultant Firewalls Risk Remediation Tufin Rules Changes Access Application

For my client in the financial industry I am looking for three security consultants with both CONCEPTUAL and strong HANDS-ON skills in the field of FIREWALLS. YOU WILL BE PART OF A TEAM THAT IS WORKING ON A REMEDIATION PROJECT TO MITIGATE RISK. The role focuses on the analysis of Firewall rules and their potential optimization. As part of this role you will be communicating with business to get a better understanding of their requirements and applications. 

Relevant background:

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. 

Role description:

- 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

Requirements: 

Experienced security engineer with Firewall configuration and remediation background

Deep understanding of Firewall concepts as well as experience with Firewall management tools

Ability to work closely with business and stand one's ground in order to drive the remediation project forward.   

Previous banking experience is a plus

Understanding of regulatory requirements in the financial industry

Fluent English 

If you are interested in this role and fulfil the requirements, I look forward to talking to you!
