WHAT YOU WILL DO

Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. In this vital role you will [responsible for developing and implementing security strategies that protect industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA networks, and other manufacturing infrastructure components. This role ensures the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of OT environments by integrating security monitoring, risk management, and compliance efforts into industrial operations.
The OT Security Engineer works closely with Security Operations, Engineering and Infrastructure, and Operations to safeguard systems against cyber threats. Key responsibilities include implementing security best practices for OT, managing vulnerabilities, and collaborating with stakeholders to enhance the security posture of OT environments. .

ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Define, lead, and implement security strategies for OT environments, focusing on Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and SCADA.
• Implement and manage OT-specific security monitoring tools, ensuring real-time detection and response to cyber threats.
• Collaborate with engineering and operational teams to integrate security measures into OT network architectures.
• Assess and mitigate vulnerabilities in OT environments, ensuring compliance with industry standards (e.g., NIST 800-82, IEC 62443).
• Support security incident response efforts, including forensic analysis and remediation of threats in industrial environments.
• Coordinate with vendors, partners, and government agencies to address OT cybersecurity challenges.
• Develop security policies, procedures, and guidelines tailored to OT environments.
• Provide training and awareness programs to operational teams regarding OT cybersecurity best practices.
• Maintain relationships with vendors and strategic partners to enhance security capabilities.
