About the Role

• Support maintenance of security platforms such as:
  • Palo Alto, Cisco Firepower/ASA or equivalent.
• Perform configuration updates, policy adjustments, failover testing, firmware reviews, and pre/post change checks.
• Review hardware/software alerts, identify root causes, and escalate to L3/vendor TAC when required.
• Execute routine NOC tasks: device backups, log/CPU/memory checks, HA status validation, certificate expiry monitoring.
• Maintain accurate documentation: device inventory, change records, SOPs, runbooks.
• Follow ITIL processes for incident, change, and problem management.
• Work in a 24x7 shift rotation, including nights/weekends/public holidays.

Requirements

• Degree in IT, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Telecommunications, or equivalent work experience.
• Minimum 2 years hands-on experience supporting enterprise firewalls or security appliances.
• Experience with at least one major security vendor: Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco, Checkpoint, Juniper, Sophos, etc.
• Good understanding of:
  • Firewall policies, NAT, ACLs
  • IPsec/SSL VPN
  • HA/cluster configurations
  • Certificates and PKI fundamentals
• Strong troubleshooting ability (packet capture, log analysis, rule debugging).
• Familiarity with NOC tools for monitoring and remote diagnostics.
• Good English communication skills and ability to handle multiple incidents quickly and accurately.

Preferred Certifications

• Palo Alto PCNSA/PCNSE
• Cisco CCNA Security / CCNP Security
• ITIL Foundation (added advantage)
