  • Direct the monitoring of network‑based threats and ensure an effective, rapid incident response.
  • Foster a collaborative, layered defense by working closely with the SOC, IT Infrastructure, and Application teams.
  • Provide deep domain expertise on key OEM platforms : Cisco NGFW, Palo Alto Firewalls, Fortinet Firewalls, F5 WAF & Load Balancers, and Email Security Gateways.
  • Leadership & Collaboration

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high‑performing team of network security engineers and analysts.
  • Manage vendor relationships and MSSP contracts related to perimeter and network security technologies.
  • Represent the network security function in internal and external audits, risk review committees, and executive‑level presentations.
  • Requirements
