To succeed in this role, you’ll need: • A solid background in cyber security, with a focus on OT environments, • Familiarity with industrial systems like PLCs, SCADA, DCS, HMIs, etc., • Awareness of the cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and risks in industrial sectors, • Experience designing or assessing network architectures and access control for OT, • Working knowledge of security standards (IEC 62443, NIST, ISO 27001, CAF, etc.), • Strong documentation and reporting skills - policies, assessments, risk analysis, • Experience working in (or with) sectors like energy, transport, water, or manufacturing, • Experience with governance, compliance and risk within cyber security.
