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.
Key Accountabilities / Responsibilities
 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

 5+ years of experience in industrial or OT cybersecurity, ideally within critical infrastructure
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) requirements in complex
OT environments.
 Knowledge of physical security principles related to ICS/OT environments, including
perimeter controls, access management, and surveillance systems
