Security Operations Engineer — Firewall Platform Support for NATO with security clearance

This is the firewall estate itself run centrally: installation central management policy patching and the daily discipline of a queue with real response times against it. You would join a small security team in Mons as its firewall specialist.

It is a good job for someone who likes the platform side of security where the answer to a repetitive task is a script and where a rule change is documented before it is made.

What you would be doing

• Build install and configure next-generation firewalls and bring them under central management with the right template and device group settings.
• Configure high availability time and name resolution settings and keep software and threat signatures current through the maintenance windows.
• Implement verify and adapt firewall rulesets and policies as requirements change.
• Work the ticket queue to the agreed response times four hours for normal events one hour for high and critical across phone mail and chat.
• Keep logging and log forwarding correct so events reach the central database.
• Write and maintain standard operating procedures and security documentation and automate the recurring administration.
• Troubleshoot with the network and platform teams and support users on secure cross-domain exchange.

What you would bring

• Solid experience as a firewall administrator on next-generation platforms.
• Good networking knowledge and familiarity with cyber security tooling.
• Scripting for automation of routine administration.
• The temperament for pro-active maintenance the work is measured in what did not break.
• Professional English spoken and written.

The work is fully on site in Mons and delivery is planned in one-week sprints.
