  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (OT, IT, engineering, operations) to integrate security controls.

  • Align security architecture with industry standards and regulatory frameworks (e.g. IEC 62443, NERC CIP).

Qualifications

  • 7–10+ years of experience in Cyber Security Architecture with OT/ICS environments.

  • Proven expertise conducting TRAs, developing mitigation strategies, and documenting outcomes.

  • Strong knowledge of Azure security services and enterprise integration.

  • In-depth experience with OT systems, ICS/SCADA, and secure network design.

  • Certification: CISSP (or equivalent).

Desired / Preferred

  • Additional certifications: GICSP, ISA/IEC 62443, SABSA, PMP, or CAPM.

  • Experience in critical infrastructure, utilities, or regulated industry.

​​​​​Note on NERC Personnel Risk Assessment (PRA)

As per NERC CIP-004, all personnel with cyber or physical access to critical cyber assets must undergo a Personnel Risk Assessment (PRA). This includes identity verification, a minimum seven-year criminal background check, and periodic reassessment. Familiarity with PRA compliance, documentation, and contractor screening is an asset for this role.
