Firewall / WAF

Key Responsibilities :

• Firewall Management & Configuration : Configure, monitor, and maintain firewalls (including next-gen firewalls ) to safeguard the organization's network infrastructure from unauthorized access, threats, and breaches.
• WAF Deployment & Configuration : Implement and manage Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions to protect web applications from vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and DDoS attacks.
• Security Incident Response : Investigate, analyze, and respond to security incidents related to firewall or WAF events, ensuring that critical issues are addressed promptly and appropriately.
• Traffic Filtering & Rules Definition : Develop, review, and update firewall rulesets and WAF policies to ensure optimal traffic filtering, access control, and security measures are in place.
• Threat Detection & Mitigation : Monitor network traffic and logs for suspicious activities and potential threats using firewalls and WAF systems. Take action to block malicious traffic and mitigate potential attacks.
• Network Segmentation : Design and implement network segmentation strategies to ensure that different parts of the network are appropriately isolated and secured.
• Compliance & Reporting : Ensure that firewall and WAF configurations align with security standards and compliance regulations (e.g., GDPR , PCI-DSS , HIPAA ). Generate reports on security incidents, firewall performance, and WAF effectiveness for management and compliance audits.
• Vulnerability Management : Regularly review firewall and WAF configurations to identify and address vulnerabilities. Conduct risk assessments and security audits to ensure the organization's infrastructure remains secure.
• Collaboration with Other IT Teams : Work closely with other teams (e.g., Network , DevOps , Application Security ) to integrate firewall and WAF solutions with other security tools and systems.
• System Updates & Patching : Regularly update firewall and WAF systems with the latest patches, firmware updates, and security fixes to protect against new vulnerabilities.
• Training & Documentation : Create and maintain detailed documentation for firewall and WAF configurations, incident response protocols, and security procedures. Provide training to team members on firewall and WAF security best practices.
• Optimization & Tuning : Continuously optimize and tune the firewall and WAF systems for performance, ensuring minimal false positives and optimal traffic filtering.
