Network & Perimeter (Domain)

• Own SME coverage for perimeter and internal network exposure: ACLs, segmentation, ingress/egress controls, remote access pathways.

• Identify systemic issues: over-permissive rules, weak segmentation, exposed services, misrouted traffic, insecure VPN configurations.

• Partner with network teams to drive durable fixes and prevent recurrence.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years in network security, network engineering, security operations, or exposure management.

• Strong understanding of network fundamentals (routing, firewalls, VPN, segmentation) and exposure patterns.

• Ability to translate network findings into business risk and remediation guidance.
