Job description

As a Security Consultant, you protect organizations from digital threats. You analyze risks, design robust security solutions, and advise clients on the best strategies to secure their infrastructure. Your expertise makes a tangible difference in the digital world.

What you will be doing & what will you get in return

As a Security Consultant, you act as a trusted advisor to senior management. You approach challenges and objectives from unique perspectives and help organizations find clarity and direction. Many of our clients are still exploring their security strategy-you guide them through the process.

You anticipate long-term risks and proactively offer solutions. Your insights translate into concrete IT solutions that provide immediate value to our clients.

Specifically, you will:

  • Act as a sparring partner for our clients.
  • Clearly communicate how different components of a complex security architecture are connected.
  • Design and implement security solutions, such as next-gen firewalls, IPS, and WAF products within complex networks.
  • Conduct independent security, network, and product assessments-reporting and presenting your findings to clients or internal teams.
  • Support the analysis of large-scale security incidents with your expertise.

Requirements

  • Have a bachelor's or master's degree (e.g., Computer Science, Business & IT, or System & Network Engineering).
  • Have at least 5 years of experience as a Security Specialist or Consultant, with expertise in next-gen firewall implementations.
  • Have experience in designing and implementing security products, such as SIEM, 2FA, Antivirus, Antispam, IPS, WAF, and NAC.
  • Hold a valid security certification, such as Cisco CCNP Security or Fortinet NSE7 (or equivalent).
  • CISSP certification is considered a strong advantage.
  • Have a solid technical background in security, but also think beyond just technology.

Benefits & conditions

What else do you get?

  • Permanent contract.
  • A salary between € 5500- and € 7000,-
  • Flexible mobility options: company car or mobility budget.
  • Bonus plan.
  • And many more, see below at "what else can you expect?"
