Role: Cisco Firewall Migration Specialist (Contract)

  • Location: Remote with occasional on-site if required
  • Determination: Outside IR35
  • Duration: 6 months with potential extension
  • Clearance Requirements: SC clearance (or eligibility) and DBS check required

Why We’re Hiring

We’re undergoing a critical firewall migration project to transition from ASA to Cisco Firepower. This involves sanitizing a complex, monolithic rule set to ensure compatibility and effectiveness within Firepower. The role requires a specialist to configure, sanitize, and test firewall rules in line with our security protocols for high-profile clients, including government agencies.

What You’ll Do

  • ASA to Firepower Migration : Migrate, sanitize, and test approximately 1,500 rules from ASA (using an older IOS) to the Cisco Firepower system. This process includes translating ASA rule sets for the Firepower environment.
  • Environment Setup and Configuration : Configure secure environments for clients such as HMRC and DWP, involving firewall setup and customization of configurations.
  • Firewall & Switch Automation : Work with CAT tools for firewall configuration; propose or implement additional automation tools (commercial or open-source) as appropriate.
  • Reporting : Provide daily progress reports to the hiring manager, detailing completed tasks and command-line actions.

Key Skills & Experience

  • Technical Expertise : Proven experience with Cisco ASA and Firepower, with a strong focus on rule set migration and security sanitization.
  • Networking Knowledge : Knowledge of Cisco and Aruba switches is a bonus, though not essential.
  • Firewall Automation : Experience with firewall configuration and some automation exposure would be ideal.
  • Qualifications : CCNP certification or higher; CCIE is a plus but not essential.
  • Security Clearance : SC clearance and DBS check required.
