About the role:
The OT Security Specialist is a
mission-critical role responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of the
Operational Technology (OT) Security program. Acting as a
strategic bridge between IT and OT, you will lead the charge in protecting
industrial control systems (ICS) and manufacturing environments. By implementing robust
network segmentation,
real-time threat monitoring, and aligning operations with global standards like
NIST 800-82 and
IEC 62443, you will ensure the resilience of vital industrial assets against modern cyber threats
What you will do:- Architect and execute the OT Cybersecurity Program Strategy, establishing a baseline of security controls that protect the production floor.
- Author comprehensive OT Security Policy statements and program charters , and establish an OT Security Governance structure that includes a multi-level risk management steering committee.
- Drive initiatives to maintain unwavering adherence to ISO 27001/2, NIST, and SOC2 frameworks.
- Engineer complex architectural blueprints for IT/OT segmentation, focusing heavily on secure LAN-WAN connectivity, DMZs, and hardened remote access.
- Analyze traffic flows to strictly limit data movement, effectively minimizing the attack surface , and manage the crucial upgrade or replacement of legacy network hardware.
- Assess and facilitate Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) for the OT Security platform to showcase critical capabilities like real-time asset inventory, traffic monitoring, and vulnerability detection.
- Design and deploy advanced monitoring solutions to maintain 100% asset visibility and detect behavioral anomalies in real-time.
- Standardize OT Asset Inventory and Vulnerability Management programs , and integrate OT telemetry with SIEM and UEBA tools for a unified, "single-pane-of-glass" situational awareness across IT and OТ.
- Lead compromise assessments and Red Teaming simulations to find and fix vulnerabilities before adversaries can exploit them.
- Pioneer tailored incident detection and remediation playbooks specifically engineered for OT-specific Indicators of Compromise (IOCs).
What you bring:- A Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Science, or a related Technical Management field.
- 10+ years of deep experience in cybersecurity, with a definitive focus on OT-specific projects, ICS security, and complex network segmentation.
- Absolute mastery of critical global standards, including IEC 62443, NIST 800-82, and ISO 27001.
- Advanced proficiency in OT monitoring platforms as well as modern IT security stacks such as SIEM, SOAR, and EDR/XDR.
- Exceptional advisory skills with the proven ability to translate complex technical risks into executive-level deliverables.
- A strong track record in high-stakes project management, successfully planning and monitoring multi-phase global roll-outs.
Nice if you have:- Holding a CISSP certification is highly preferred, and having a CISM or CRISC will give you a significant advantage.
