Data Center Network Security Implementation

Security is at the core of my expertise, Karim. Throughout my multi-faceted career in IT, I have consistently prioritized measures that ensure data integrity and system reliability. My specialization in server administration, networking, and security uniquely positions me to tackle the challenges your project presents. Quite understandably, security breaches can carry catastrophic consequences and I strongly believe in going beyond mere complacency to create robust solutions. Having hands-on experience with some of the biggest names in secure remote access and integrating firewalls, intrusion detection systems, endpoint security, and other protective measures - I am confident in my ability to configure network security protocols within any data center environment. In addition, my know-how around Cisco routing, VLAN management, VoIP/IP telephony and network penetration testing keeps me informed about the latest threats - which will prove essential as I monitor your network for potential risks and respond rapidly to mitigate them.

Network Engineer with 13+ years of experience in Design and Support of large-scale multi-vendor Local and Wide Area networks. Good understanding of TCP/IP, specifically relating to routing, switching, wireless LAN, security, NAC services, VOIP. I have Network engineers in London UK, who can help you to set this up

Dear Client, Thank you for defining the requirements, details and work. With given requirements, it is clear that design, configuration, implementation, and troubleshooting is required for this scope. Ensure the conformance of high availability, where applicable, resiliency and robust Data Center infrastructure to maintain the fundamentals of Information Security as part of the Cyber Security with active devices of Data Center. Based on best practices and validated designs, I have configured a Data Center and depends on the functional elements and components, Routers, Switches (Core/Access), Firewalls IDS/IPS, Load Balancer, WAF, WLC or APs, smoothens the operations with strict, stringent and compliant policies. Information Security defined in this industry reflects the PCI-DSS, and other frameworks which include the ISO 27001, NIST etc. With over 11 years of experience as ICT Enterprise Architect, I have strong problem-solving skills, troubleshooting and debugging expertise to solve and resolve incidents, issues, and problems immediately. Maintain the documentation, such as High Level and Low Level Designs. I am certified as CCIE Data Center, CCNP Enterprise, CCNP Security, VMWare VCIX NV, VMWare VCP DCV, TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner, PCNSE, CCNA, Cisco Hyperflex and MCNA. I am excited to help, design, implement, monitor and configure the necessary work to implement the robust Data Center Infrastructure. Regards, Muneeb
