Employment
Experience
- Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure
I set up a hybrid cloud infrastructure for clients using Fortinet firewalls. I also configured on-premise Fortinet firewalls and a centralized management system called Forti-manager to manage firewalls and Fortinet VM on the cloud. I also implemented Forti-analyzer.
I worked with the senior architect and security team to set up segments based on Zero trust architecture while setting up the cloud workload segments.
I enabled IPS and URL filtering on Fortinet firewalls and performed operating system upgrades on Fortinet on-prem appliances as well as VM.
