I will audit, optimize, and automate your enterprise firewall policies


About this gig
Stop drowning in messy firewall rules. Lets automate and secure your entire fleet.
Are you managing hundreds of firewalls with inconsistent, bloated, or outdated rule sets? Are you dreading your next compliance audit because no one knows what half the policies actually do?
I am a 20-year professional, who has successfully led firewall transformations for major media enterprises, analyzing and refactoring tens of thousands of policies across mixed environments (Cisco ASA, Juniper SRX, Palo Alto, and Fortinet).
I don't just give you a report. I give you a clean, standardized, and automated firewall infrastructure that your team can actually manage.
What I Deliver:
- Deep Policy Audit & Cleanup
- Multi-Vendor Expertise
- Automation-First Approach
Who Is This Gig For?
- IT Managers preparing for SOC2, PCI-DSS, or STIG compliance audits.
- Network teams inheriting a legacy firewall environment with no documentation.
- Companies migrating from legacy vendors (Cisco/Juniper) to Fortinet.
- Security teams that need to automate repetitive firewall tasks to free up their engineers.

FAQ
Do I need to give you admin access to my production firewalls?
Not initially. For the audit phase, read-only access or sanitized config exports are sufficient. If implementation is required, we will schedule a maintenance window that works for your team, and I will walk you through every change before it is applied.
What if my firewalls are a mix of different brands?
That is my specialty. I have extensive hands-on experience with Fortinet, Cisco, Juniper, and Palo Alto. I know how to normalize policies across completely different syntaxes and architectures.
Will this slow down my network?
No. Consolidating policies actually improves performance because the firewall spends less CPU cycles processing rule matches. My automation scripts ensure the new policies maintain the exact same traffic flow (just without the bloat).
Can you provide the automation scripts you write?
Yes. For Standard and Premium packages, the scripts are yours to keep and modify.
