network firewalls, Azure NSG/ASG) to implement least-privilege connectivity; create and maintain firewall rules for TxDOT systems.
Monitoring & Operations: Use Citrix Director/Analytics, Azure Monitor/Log Analytics, and platform logs to track performance, right-size capacity,
and tune user experience; drive incident response and root-cause analysis; document TxDOT standard operating procedures.
