Assignment Description:

For the Swedish Police Authority, we are looking for an IT security technician. The assignment concerns work within IT security with a primary focus on administration, management, and development of complex firewall environments. The role involves independently working with security-related issues in a large and complex IT environment, with a focus on maintaining a secure, stable, and functional communication environment.

The work includes, for example, administration and configuration of firewalls, management and analysis of firewall rules, troubleshooting, change management, log analysis, and work with intrusion protection and other security functions related to the network infrastructure.

The role may also include analysis and assessment of security architecture, risks, and the need for security measures, as well as participation in the implementation and further development of security solutions. The work is carried out in close collaboration with other functions within IT and information security and requires the ability to independently analyze complex security issues and translate them into practically implementable solutions.

The role presupposes good knowledge of network and security architecture as well as experience working with firewalls and other technical security solutions in complex IT environments.

The assignment involves full-time support to the group with operational management in the police's firewall environments, especially of the product VMware NSX.
