· Administer the bank’s VoIP/PBX system including call routing, voicemail, auto-attendants, and SIP trunks, coordinating with telecom vendors for upgrades and issue resolution.

· Manage network security infrastructure (firewalls, IDS/IPS, SIEM, endpoint protection), conduct vulnerability assessments, respond to incidents, and ensure compliance with FFIEC, GLBA, and PCI-DSS.

· Oversee administration and maintenance of IP-based camera and access control systems across all branch locations, ensuring proper data retention, access controls, and policy compliance.
