  8. Stay current with the latest cybersecurity threats, tools, and best practices, implementing continuous improvements to keep the security systems updated and resilient against emerging threats.

  9. Maintain detailed documentation of cybersecurity protocols, policies, and incident reports, providing regular updates and comprehensive reports to senior management and stakeholders.

  10. Ensure that cybersecurity is embedded into all system integration activities, ensuring secure connections across all digital platforms, from rail control systems to passenger information services.

  6. Expertise in penetration testing, risk assessments, vulnerability scanning, and incident response for critical infrastructure.

  7. Extensive understanding of UAE data privacy regulations and their implications for transportation and infrastructure projects, including regulatory frameworks, transportation policies, and urban planning guidelines.

  8. Proficient in network security protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, VPNs, encryption), with experience in securing industrial control systems (ICS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.

  9. Experience in cloud security and protecting digital services deployed in cloud environments is a plus.

Skills / Competencies:
