• Deep understanding of OT protocols (Modbus, DNP3, PROFINET, etc.) and ICS/SCADA systems.
• Strong knowledge of network security, firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, and security zoning.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks: NIST CSF, IEC 62443, MITRE ATT&CK for ICS.
• Proficient in developing architecture diagrams, security policies, and risk assessments.
• Experience working with cross-functional teams in industrial or critical infrastructure environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate or equivalent Cisco security certifications.
• GICSP, CISSP, or similar security certifications.
• Experience with other security monitoring tools (e.g., Claroty, Nozomi Networks) is a plus.
• Familiarity with cloud integration (Azure/AWS) for OT data telemetry or hybrid deployments.
