Role Overview: We are on the hunt for a skilled Firewall Engineer with extensive experience in Fortinet firewalls and FortiManager policies.

What You'll Do:

1. Review and implement firewall rules using provided templates.
2. Analyze firewall logs to spot gaps and implement new rules.
3. Document communication requirements for each application and server.
4. Disable outdated rules in line with change management processes.

Your Expertise:

2. Skilled in analysing firewall logs.
3. Proficient in using Splunk queries (desirable).
4. Strong understanding of change management processes.

Background: Our current firewall rules in RDCs and HQ are too permissive and need stricter controls. Information about required ports for servers and applications is currently lacking, but a comprehensive list of firewall rules from an existing template can be used as a baseline.

Goal: To review, create, and tidy up all firewall rules in warehouses and HQ.

Concept welcomes all applications. Right to Work is a requirement as no sponsorship is offered for this role.
