  • Conduct vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and incident management in both IT and OT settings.
  • Execute first responder actions, triaging, and containing breaches while documenting incidents from detection to resolution.
  • Lead incident response efforts, deploying IR tools and sensors, conducting advanced forensic analysis, and advising on incident response.
  • Act as a point of escalation for cybersecurity investigations in industrial settings, providing guidance on incident resolution and containment strategies.
  • Perform advanced analysis in response to security incidents, securely collecting artifacts, analyzing for malicious behavior, and determining root causes.
  • Engage in threat-hunting activities, identifying anomalies, and transforming data into actionable intelligence for threat assessment and risk management.
  • Contribute to the development, updating, and dissemination of incident response best practices, including recommendations for senior leadership during incidents affecting the business.
  • Demonstrate analytical skills with a detail-oriented approach and strong documentation capabilities.
  • Possess expertise in supporting various Cloud infrastructures (Azure, AWS, GCP, or IBM Cloud).
  • Stay informed on the latest Cybersecurity trends, news, and threat landscapes, particularly in OT, IoT, Big Data, Cloud Security, and Digital Transformation.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, or related IT fields, or equivalent job experience with a minimum of eight (8) years in the field.
  • Strong background in System/Network Architecture, Cybersecurity consulting, and fundamentals of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT).
