Job Summary:

The OT Cybersecurity Specialist will focus on securing operational technology (OT) systems, such as SCADA,PLCs, and industrial control systems. The role involves developing strategies to safeguard OT environmentsfrom cyber threats, ensuring the protection of critical infrastructure and compliance with industry regulations.This role requires expertise in securing IT-OT convergence, mitigating cyber threats in industrial environments,and ensuring compliance with cybersecurity standards for industrial systems.Key Responsibilities:

OT Security Architecture & Implementation:o Design and implement cybersecurity controls for industrial and OT environments.o Assess security risks in ICS, SCADA, and Industrial IoT (IIoT) systems.o Develop and enforce network segmentation strategies for industrial networks.o Experience in creating quality design documentations such as High Level and Low level design

documents.

Industrial Security Monitoring & Threat Detection:o Deploy and manage OT-specific IDS/IPS solutions for anomaly detection.o Integrate OT networks with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms.o Conduct threat hunting and forensic analysis in ICS/SCADA environments.

Risk Management & Compliance:o Ensure compliance with industry security standards (NCSA / QCERT, IEC 62443, NIST CSF, NERC

CIP, ISO 27001, etc.).o Conduct security risk assessments and vulnerability analysis in OT environments.o Develop security policies, procedures, and incident response plans for OT security.

Cyber-Physical Security Integration:o Work closely with engineering and operations teams to implement secure-by-design industrial

solutions.o Secure remote access solutions for industrial environments using Zero Trust principles.o Implement security measures for legacy industrial systems and critical infrastructure.

Incident Response & Resilience:o Develop and execute OT cybersecurity incident response plans.o Conduct tabletop exercises and simulations for OT cyber incident response.o Implement disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity plans (BCP) for industrial

environments. Technology & Solution Implementation:

o Deploy security solutions for ICS, SCADA, IIoT, DCS, and PLC systems.o Implement firewalls, NAC, IT/OT IDS, industrial deception technologies, SIEM, EDR, and NDR

solutions.o Secure OT endpoint security using FIM (File Integrity Monitoring), DLP (Data Loss

Prevention), and DRMS (Digital Rights Management Systems). Stakeholder Engagement & Training:

o Work with plant engineers, IT teams, and leadership to align security goals.o Provide cybersecurity awareness training tailored to OT environments.o Support audits and regulatory compliance assessments.

Qualifications & Experience: Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Cybersecurity, Electrical Engineering, Industrial

Automation, or related field.
