Implement network segmentation and least-privilege architectures aligned with Zero Trust principles. Enforce secure access protocols, including MFA, SSO, and conditional access within Microsoft 365 and VPN environments. Maintain and optimize email/web security tools (e.g., Mimecast, Forcepoint) to combat advanced threats. Deploy and support endpoint protection systems (e.g., SentinelOne) to secure user devices. Monitor network behavior and security events using tools like Darktrace, SolarWinds, and Nessus. Utilize SIEM platforms, IDS/IPS, and vulnerability management systems to detect and respond to threats. Investigate and respond to security incidents with urgency and thorough documentation. Work cross-functionally with infrastructure, applications, and support teams to resolve complex technical issues. Provide escalation support and root cause analysis for WAN/LAN, wireless, and fiber optic issues. Contribute to business continuity through network resiliency, testing, and failover strategies. Support compliance audits, client security reviews, and internal risk assessments. Stay current with evolving cybersecurity threats, tools, and best practices. Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field preferred (or equivalent hands-on experience). At least 5 years of experience in networking, security, or IT infrastructure roles. Strong command of networking protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, BGP) and security best practices. Hands-on experience with enterprise-grade firewalls, VPNs, and endpoint security solutions. Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks and standards (e.g., NIST, CIS, ISO 27001). Proven diagnostic and troubleshooting skills across both networking and security domains. Professional certifications (CISSP, CISM, CEH, CCNP Security, etc.) are a plus.
