- Led an engineering team towards integration of Micro-segmentation and Zero Trust architecture with enterprise network edge devices into the enterprise WAN environment. Involved coordination with several teams for their involvement, leadership buy-in, and successful delivery of Micro-segmentation to production branches. Having hundreds of customers going into a single branch daily and owning over 350 branches and cafes in the fleet, this implementation across all Capital One branches and cafes protects millions of customers and their personal data from adversaries as close to the source as possible.- Architected Network Micro-segmentation solution from start to finish for all branches and cafes within Capital One. This involved applying a Versa Networks NGFW to our SDWAN routing instances, integrating Cisco Trustsec with our switches, and integrating the existing network environment with Clearpass RADIUS server for dynamic policy of device identification and authorization with 802.1x and Mac Authentication Bypass (MAB).- Coordinated with several partner engineering teams to assist with technical delivery and documentation of Micro-segmentation, including presentations with Director level individuals for buy-in for the larger Zero Trust requirement, explaining complex topics for a high level overview of what decisions ultimately need to be made.- Coordinated with several System Owners and engineers to learn how their applications are impacted with network segmentation, and engineer new solutions as required to offset potential problems in the production environment. This ended up leading to efficiencies in several team’s processes that would have gone unnoticed if the topic didn’t arise.
