Your primary responsibility will be to analyze our customers existing IT landscapes, understand their security and network architectures, and design secure and scalable AWS solutions. You will be instrumental in helping customers modernize their security infrastructure, including migrating from legacy firewalls to advanced VM-series firewalls and adopting SD-WAN technologies.

Responsibilities

- Security Architecture Design:
- Assess customers existing security and network architectures in on-premise environments.
- Design secure, scalable, and cost-effective AWS cloud solutions aligned with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
- Develop detailed security architecture diagrams, documentation, and migration plans.
- Recommend and implement security enhancements and transformations, such as moving to VM-series firewalls and SD-WAN.
- Cloud Security Implementation:
- Configure and deploy AWS security services (e.g., IAM, Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, VPCs, Security Groups, NACLs) to protect workloads in the cloud.
- Implement and manage security infrastructure, including firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and web application firewalls (WAFs).
- Automate security configuration and deployment using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like CloudFormation or Terraform.
- Security Transformation:
- Lead the transformation of customers security posture from traditional models to modern, cloud-centric approaches.
- Provide expertise in migrating from port-based firewalls to advanced VM-series firewalls and implementing SD-WAN technologies.
- Design and implement network segmentation strategies to isolate workloads and minimize the attack surface.
- Risk Management and Compliance:
- Conduct risk assessments and vulnerability analyses to identify security gaps in the cloud environment.
