ICS/OT Cybersecurity Engineers and ICS/OT Network Security Engineers support clients in assessing improving and maintaining the cybersecurity posture of their ICS/OT environments to mitigate security risks (e.g. insider and external threats intentional and accidental).
This positions responsibilities include the audit of ICS/OT environments and performing risk/vulnerability assessments. This role also includes developing client specific cybersecurity roadmaps that prioritize the remediation of cyber threats based on the likelihood of occurrence and magnitude of cost/consequence of a security incident. This position will create mitigation plans for clients to remediate vulnerabilities and will provide support during the remediation efforts. ICS/OT Cybersecurity Engineers and ICS/OT Network Security Engineers assist in reviewing and developing Industrial Cybersecurity programs security policies and plans and provide guidance to help clients improve their existing OT security programs.
ICS/OT Cybersecurity Engineers and ICS/OT Network Security Engineers demonstrate:
High integrity
A willingness to go beyond the ordinary to meet and exceed client expectations
A desire for continual challenge and development
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Reports to:Cybersecurity Lead
