  • Achievements: The upgrade resulted in a 40% reduction in security vulnerabilities and a 30% improvement in overall network efficiency.
  • Technologies Used: Cisco ASA Firewalls, Snort IDS, and Python for automation scripts.
  • Collaboration: Worked alongside a team of 4 engineers, coordinating tasks and ensuring deadlines were met.
  • Challenges: One of the challenges was configuring the IDS system without causing network downtime. This was resolved by careful testing in a sandbox environment
