About the role

Our environments include Fortinet security platforms, Palo Alto firewalls, and traditional enterprise networking technologies such as Cisco and Aruba/HPE.

•Solid understanding of routing and switching fundamentals

•Experience with enterprise networking vendors such as Cisco, Fortinet, Aruba/HPE

•Basic understanding of data center networking concepts (e.g., Cisco ACI, VMware NSX-T) is an advantage

•Interest or experience with Network Access Control (NAC) solutions is a plus (e.g., FortiNAC or similar)
