• Deep understanding of Check Point / Palo Alto / Fortinet and open-source firewall technologies, their management systems and capabilities.
• Understanding of security protocols: IPsec, SSL/TLS, VPN, routing protocols, IDS/IPS, Proxies, WAFs.
• Leverage open-source automation and coding tools such as Bash scripting, Python, Ansible.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders at all levels.
