Infrastructure/Security Architect (Zscaler) - $1000-1050 a day - Immediate Start
 
Our client is a growing, well-backed business scaling its security architecture and they need a hands-on Solution Architect to own it end to end. This isn't BAU support, and it isn't an hands-on solution security architect role. You'll be running requirement workshops with the business, then architecting and documenting and implementing Zscaler

  • Expanding DLP and device control policy within Zscaler to lock down web DLP, personal cloud storage, network file storage, Bluetooth and NFC
  • Providing project management and architectural support for Zscaler DLP enablement across the collaboration suite
  • Authoring and presenting Low Level Designs (LLDs) for Zscaler policy sets and tenant architecture to ARB and alignment forums, keeping everything aligned to enterprise standards

• Frameworks & Standards: mastery of SASE frameworks, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, CIS Controls, and Zero Trust Architecture principles
• SSE/SASE Mastery: advanced design experience with Zscaler (ZIA/ZPA)
• Cloud & Identity Security: deep expertise in Azure Security Center, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Entra ID, and Conditional Access policies
