Role purpose
Support the security and resilience of operational technology (OT) and industrial control system (ICS) environments.
Monitor and investigate security events, improve asset and monitoring coverage, coordinate remediation and recovery readiness, and support incident response and project assurance.
Work closely with Operations, Engineering, IT, the SOC and vendors, ensuring security actions do not create unacceptable safety or production risk.
Key responsibilities
- Monitor and triage alerts from SIEM, passive OT monitoring, firewalls, endpoint tools and other available telemetry; validate activity against approved operations and changes, correlate evidence, document findings and escalate incidents.
- Support OT incident assessment, containment and recovery with authorized stakeholders.
- Assess safety, availability and recoverability impacts; do not scan, isolate, block or change production systems without approval.
- Maintain asset, ownership, criticality and monitoring coverage records; identify blind spots and log-source issues, and validate sensor, collector and alerting health.
- Review OT vulnerabilities and exposures, coordinate safe patching or compensating controls, and track actions to evidence-based closure.
- Review segmentation, firewall rules and remote access for unnecessary exposure.
- Check backup and recovery readiness for critical systems and support restoration exercises; coordinate secure, least-privileged vendor access and review OT identity and privileged accounts.
- Provide cybersecurity input to OT projects and changes, including designs, data flows, zones and conduits, vendor connections and acceptance testing. Keep procedures, incident records, action trackers and concise status reports current.
