My Analysis till now <cite> `No Problem can be solved without proper data & management` </cite> <br>

My Day starts with checking mail showing any Network related challenges faced at any location, and trying to figure out the possible existing area of the flaw, is it DNS, ISP, Service being down, AP, Firewall Rules, SD-WAN related etc. <br>

<strong> First: </strong> Before beginning Security Review I should be well aware of Location Network Architecture, so that I can then identify the challenge and work on the flaw. Before actually implementing Security Control, I should make sure the Architecture is in place.

I be in close touch with Network Team, to understand any problem faced by them and i take active part in resolving that problem. <br>

<strong> Second: </strong> I then began my work on implementation of the Security Controls at Firewall, SD-WAN, AP. I make sure that I explain it to Network Team & IT Executive the changes & possible problem that might come up after the change is made. And how with Simple SOP they can gather the details and help speed up the resolution. <br>

<strong> Third: </strong> I am in charge of the Cloud Firewall POC, where i use my checklist to test & understand the security control & how easy it is to implement it in that solution.
