The ideal candidate will

be responsible for designing and delivering comprehensive cybersecurity strategies for industrial

environments (OT/ICS), including the development of operational models, capability frameworks,

resource estimations, and integration of advanced technologies such as AI and automation in the

cybersecurity lifecycle.

 Develop Industrial Cybersecurity Operational Models, outlining key functions, capabilities,

and responsibilities (RACI matrices) aligned with industry frameworks (e.g., NIST, IEC 62443).

 Design and maintain a comprehensive Industrial Cybersecurity Capability Model that

supports risk management, threat detection, incident response, and compliance across OT

environments.

 Create and validate OT Cybersecurity Resource Requirement Models, including FTE

estimation and skillset matrices for new and existing industrial security programs.

 Define and enforce physical security requirements specific to industrial control systems and

critical infrastructure.

 Lead and perform Gap & Risk assessments exercises on various ongoing projects.

 Research, document, and promote AI best practices in Industrial Cybersecurity, covering

threat detection, predictive analytics, anomaly classification, and response automation.

 Collaborate with cross-functional teams (IT, OT, physical security, compliance) to ensure

seamless integration of cybersecurity controls within industrial operations.

 Responsible for conducting cybersecurity workshops and coordinating associated

stakeholders.

 Responsible for generating documents, drawings and reports associated with cybersecurity

sectors such as oil & gas, utilities, manufacturing, or pharmaceuticals.

 Strong understanding of ICS/SCADA systems, industrial network protocols (Modbus, DNP3,

OPC, etc.), and industry-specific standards (ISA/IEC 62443, NIST 800-82, NERC CIP).

 Experience developing capability maturity models, operational frameworks, and RACI

matrices for cybersecurity programs.

 Proven ability to estimate and model cybersecurity staffing (FTE)

in complex

OT environments.

 Knowledge of physical security principles related to ICS/OT environments, including

perimeter controls, access management, and surveillance systems.
