• Serve as a direct point of escalation with Palo Alto Networks and other vendors on complex technical issues.

• Share expertise with peers on Palo Alto best practices, including SD-WAN policy design and security posture alignment.
• Maintain thorough documentation of network architectures, security policies, and operational playbooks.
• Takes on additional responsibilities and projects as needed to support the success of the team and organization.
