  • Proficiency with Palo Alto firewalls and IPS solutions.
  • Experience designing and implementing VPN, DNS (Infoblox) and email solutions.
  • Knowledge of hybrid/public cloud integration.
  • Familiarity with Australian Government security frameworks, including the ASD ISM and Essential Eight.
