Fortinet Firewall migrations, policy hardening, and FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer integration

SIEM deployment, configuration, and tuning for incident detection and response

Endpoint Detection and Response (CrowdStrike) across IT and OT systems

o Support security architecture for:

Azure cloud migrations and Azure Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployment

Cloud discovery, security assessments, and cloud native security tools (Azure Security Center, Defender)

o Conduct vulnerability assessments, threat modeling, and drive remediation activities.

o Assist in executing and refining Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity (BCP) plans.

o Contribute to incident response by analyzing Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), assisting in evidence handling (chain of custody), and executing response playbooks.

o Perform log analysis, threat detection, and anomaly correlation within SIEM platforms.

o Support IAM initiatives, including Active Directory, MFA deployment, and secure access control management.

o Perform basic scripting and automation to improve security workflows (PowerShell or Python).

o Assist in documenting risks, controls, incident response activities, and technical standards in alignment with NIST RMF practices.

Communicate effectively across engineering, IT, and business leadership teams on cybersecurity findings and actions

• Strong foundational understanding of:

o TCP/IP networking, OSI model, and secure network design principles

o Identity and Access Management (IAM) concepts, Active Directory, LDAP, MFA

o Vulnerability management processes and interpreting scan results (e.g., ProxyLogon, Log4Shell familiarity)

o Core Incident Response (including evidence handling and chain of custody fundamentals)

o Security frameworks (NIST CSF, NIST RMF) and basic compliance awareness

• Scripting ability (PowerShell or Python) for task automation or data analysis.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills — must be able to create documentation, incident reports, and articulate risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot across systems.
