You are confident working with cloud platforms like Azure or AWS and have hands-on experience with enterprise firewalls and security appliances in hybrid environments.

Ideally, you also have a strong understanding of cyber security principles, identity management (SSO, MFA, RBAC), and service management practices (ITIL). Certifications such as Microsoft Certified: Windows Server, CCNA, VMware VCP-DCV, and Citrix CCA-V are highly desirable.

Please note that evidence of required certificates and qualifications must be provided to commence employment at GreenSquareAccord.
