Qualifications

  • 2+ years of direct experience in a Major Incident Management (MIM) or L3 escalation role is required.
  • Expert-level knowledge of the Fortinet Security Fabric, including FortiGate policy configuration, VPNs (IPsec / SSL), high availability (HA), FortiSwitch, FortiAP, and SD-WAN.
  • Demonstrable experience with Zero-Trust architecture and hands-on expertise in implementing and managing Zscaler (ZIA and ZPA).
  • Solid understanding of core networking, routing and switching protocols, including BGP, OSPF, VLANs, STP, LACP, ACLs, NAT, and QoS.
  • Proficiency with ITIL frameworks, specifically Incident, Problem, and Change Management processes.

  • Industry certifications are highly preferred :

  • Fortinet : NSE 4 / 5 / 6 or higher is strongly desired.
  • Zscaler : Zscaler Certified Cloud Administrator (ZCCA) / Professional (ZCCP) is a significant plus.
