As a Network Engineer/Firewall/Security Engineer at Cox, I was responsible for designing and updating network architectures with a focus on security and firewall configurations. I conducted thorough evaluations of existing firewall rules and security measures, identifying vulnerabilities and implementing enhancements to strengthen the overall security posture. By optimizing firewall rules, I ensured efficient network traffic management while maintaining robust protection against threats.
I also designed and configured network zones, siloes, and Demilitarized Zones (DMZs) to enhance data segmentation and enforce strict access control policies. This approach minimized exposure to external threats and safeguarded sensitive information. My role involved creating secure communication pathways, preventing unauthorized access, and maintaining compliance with industry security standards. This experience advanced my expertise in network security architecture, risk assessment, and strategic firewall management.
