A structured security policy remediation project led by VALO’s founder in a prior senior network security engineering role.
Cisco & Palo Alto network security engineering
Firewall migration
Migrations, configuration changes, VPN deployments and cutovers with rollback and validation steps.
01 Scope Inventory the current firewall: policy, NAT and dependencies.
How VALO works
Specialist engineering for the firewalls and networks a business runs on. Scoped before work starts, changed deliberately, and validated before handover.

Credentials & methodologyWhat VALO engineers
What VALO does.
-
01
Firewall migration & implementation
Migrations, configuration changes, VPN deployments and cutovers with rollback and validation steps.
-
02
Network segmentation & security engineering
Segmentation, Cisco switching and routing, and security remediation, so what should never talk, doesn’t.
-
03
Network & security assessment
Vendor-neutral, engineer-led review with risk-ranked findings and a remediation roadmap you can act on. $2,500 flat for qualifying single-site environments.
How a change is engineered
The cutover should be the uneventful part.
The work that protects a change window happens before it: knowing what the current firewall actually does, staging the replacement, and agreeing how to back out.
- 01ScopeInventory current policy, NAT and dependencies. Agree the change window and rollback before work starts.
- 02StageTranslate and stage the new configuration with the rollback plan ready.
- 03Cut overShift approved traffic inside the agreed window.
- 04Validate & hand overTest what should pass and what should not, then hand over the documentation.

Recommendations from former colleagues
“Working with Loseini was an absolute highlight of my time on the team. He combines strong technical expertise with excellent communication, ownership, and a positive, solutions-oriented mindset. Loseini repeatedly proved himself to be someone you can rely on to handle complex challenges from start to finish. I would gladly work with Loseini again in a heartbeat and give him my highest recommendation.”
“It was a pleasure working with Loseini at Dallas County. He has a proven track record of going above and beyond to engineer effective technical solutions. His impact was felt across Dallas County, both directly and indirectly. I knew I could always count on him to do his part and help push projects through to the finish line.”
