Job Description

Title: Midlevel Cisco ISE Engineer

Job Summary:

The environment includes Cisco Firepower, ISE, TippingPoint, and Imperva WAF, all feeding into an existing but underutilized Splunk Cloud instance.

• Provide documentation, knowledge transfer, and training to internal teams as needed.
• Assist in audits, vulnerability assessments, and compliance activities related to network access control.
