In this role, you will be a critical leader in helping our customers migrate their on-premise environments to AWS while transforming and enhancing their security posture. Your primary responsibility will be to analyze our customers' existing IT landscapes, understand their security and network architectures, and design secure and scalable AWS solutions. You will be instrumental in helping customers modernize their security infrastructure, including migrating from legacy firewalls to advanced VM-series firewalls and adopting SD-WAN technologies.
Responsibilities:
• Security Architecture Design:
o Assess customers' existing security and network architectures in on-premise environments.
o Design secure, scalable, and cost-effective AWS cloud solutions aligned with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
o Develop detailed security architecture diagrams, documentation, and migration plans.
o Recommend and implement security enhancements and transformations, such as moving to VM-series firewalls and SD-WAN.
• Cloud Security Implementation:
o Configure and deploy AWS security services (e.g., IAM, Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, VPCs, Security Groups, NACLs) to protect workloads in the cloud.
o Implement and manage security infrastructure, including firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and web application firewalls (WAFs).
o Automate security configuration and deployment using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like CloudFormation or Terraform.
• Security Transformation:
o Lead the transformation of customers' security posture from traditional models to modern, cloud-centric approaches.
o Provide expertise in migrating from port-based firewalls to advanced VM-series firewalls and implementing SD-WAN technologies.
o Design and implement network segmentation strategies to isolate workloads and minimize the attack surface.
• Risk Management and Compliance:
o Conduct risk assessments and vulnerability analyses to identify security gaps in the cloud environment.
o Develop and implement security policies, standards, and procedures to ensure compliance with industry regulations (e.g., HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR).
o Participate in security audits and compliance reviews.
• Collaboration and Communication:
o Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including cloud engineers, developers, and project managers.
o Communicate security requirements and best practices to stakeholders at all levels.
o Provide security training and mentorship to other team members.
Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in security architecture, with a focus on cloud security and AWS.
• Strong understanding of network and security architectures in on-premise environments.
• Deep expertise in AWS security services and best practices.
• Experience designing and implementing security solutions for cloud migration projects.
• Knowledge of security frameworks and standards (e.g., NIST, CIS, ISO 27001).
• Familiarity with security tools and technologies, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and SIEM solutions.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation tools (e.g., CloudFormation, Terraform).
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
• AWS Certified Security – Specialty or equivalent certification is highly preferred.
• Experience migrating from traditional firewalls to VM-series firewalls and implementing SD-WAN solutions.
• Experience with cloud security automation tools.
• Experience working with enterprise customers.
