* Supporting the design and troubleshooting of site-to-site and remote access VPNs.
* Integrating and managing Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for network access control and segmentation.
* Monitoring performance using dashboards and logs, and generating reports for operational and compliance purposes.
* Ensuring all changes follow established change management processes.
* Driving resolution of network security incidents and vulnerabilities.
* Aligning current practices with future-state architecture, including Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) models.
* Ensuring compliance with regulatory and internal risk frameworks (e.g., ISO, NIST, GDPR).
Your Previous Experience Is Likely To Include….
* Hands-on management of Cisco firewall technologies (ASA, FTD, FMC).
* VPN configuration and administration (site-to-site and remote access).
* Experience with Cisco ISE for policy enforcement and access control.
* Familiarity with network security architecture including segmentation, NAT, ACLs, and intrusion prevention.
* Working with third-party managed services and vendors.
* Operating in ITIL-aligned environments (incident, change, and problem management).
* Exposure to SASE principles and cloud-delivered security models (e.g., ZTNA, SWG, CASB).
* Use of network monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Cisco SecureX, Splunk, SolarWinds).
* Participation in security audits, compliance assessments, or risk management initiatives.
To be successful in this role you will…
* Demonstrate Company Core Values at all times
* Hold certifications such as CCNA (Security or Enterprise) and Cisco Certified Specialist – Security Core (or equivalent).
* Demonstrate a strong understanding of TCP/IP, routing, switching, and security protocols.
* Ideally possess additional certifications such as CCNP Security, Cisco CyberOps Associate, ITIL Foundation, or CompTIA Security+.
