Architectural Leadership
- Design and maintain Solidigm’s global network security architecture, spanning :
Core corporate and data center networks
Lab network segmentation and lab firewalls
On-premise proxies and remote access gateways
Cloud security architecture (Azure, AWS, GCP) including hub-spoke and zero-trust models
Define the long-term network security roadmap, balancing resilience, performance, and scalability.Develop secure reference architectures for Prisma Access SD-WAN, NGFW, Infoblox DNS / DHCP, and VPN platforms.Partner with Infrastructure, Network, Cloud, and InfoSec teams to ensure consistent policy enforcement and visibility across all network zones.Operational Oversight and Vendor Management
Lead and manage the Managed Service Provider (MSP) responsible for L2 / L3 network security engineering, administration, and monitoring.Define performance metrics, escalation procedures, and automation goals for MSP delivered services.Ensure adherence to SLAs and architectural standards through regular audits and technical reviews.Oversee incident response coordination for network-related security events and P1 / P2 outages.Ensure direct or delegated completion of network security operational procedures including firewall object management, certificate / license updates, session table maintenance, and troubleshooting incident error messages.Oversee execution of SOP-defined network security tasks (e.g., AV updates, DR activities, firewall deployments, and privileged access workflows), ensuring completeness and compliance through delegated MSP and internal resources.Lead and optimize privileged access provisioning, external user onboarding, browser extension deployment, and OTP verification processes, ensuring alignment with documented SOPs and policy standards.Regularly review, update, and contribute to network security SOP documentation to ensure operational processes remain tightly integrated with evolving enterprise requirements and new technologies.Automation and AI Integration
Implement AI and machine learning technologies to automate network telemetry analysis, anomaly detection, and response workflows.Reduce manual troubleshooting and analysis by integrating AIOps, predictive analytics, and autonomous configuration management.Drive adoption of automated rule verification, configuration compliance, and zero touch provisioning across the network security ecosystem.Engineering and Governance
Provide expert guidance on routing, switching, segmentation, encryption, and authentication frameworks.Develop and enforce network security policies and standards, integrating with enterprise GRC systems.Review and approve changes to firewall rules, access control lists, and proxy configurations.Conduct security architecture reviews for new projects and cloud integrations.Participate in quarterly business reviews (QBRs) and executive governance meetings to report on security posture, incidents, and improvement initiatives.Mentorship and Collaboration
Serve as a technical mentor to engineers across the Infrastructure and InfoSec teams.Collaborate with the CISO, Cloud Security, and SOC leaders to align network and cyber defense strategy.Coordinate with compliance and audit functions to ensure evidence of network security control effectiveness.Compliance and Audit Coordination
Coordinate with audit / compliance teams to supply detailed technical evidence, collect logs / reports, and document SOP compliance for both internal and external audit requirements.Facilitate audit comment tracking and support periodic access verification activities as per SOP guidance.Platform & Product Expertise
Maintain expertise in Solidigm-specific network security platforms (e.g., Panorama, NP Extranet, aiSSD), browser integrations, and licensing schemes, supporting operational SOPs and driving troubleshooting and integration improvements.Incident Response & Troubleshooting
Own and participate in root cause analysis, session table clearances, and non-functional error remediation, demonstrating thorough knowledge of day-to-day troubleshooting SOPs.Qualifications
