Job Description: Operational Technology Specialist

Company: Missing Link Security

Location: Ft Belvoir, VA (on-site)

Clearance Required: Secret

Travel: Up to 5%


Background:

Operational Technology (OT) refers to the hardware and software used to change, monitor, or control the enterprise's physical devices, processes, and events. Unlike traditional Information Technology (IT) systems, OT systems directly impact the physical world. This unique characteristic of OT brings additional cybersecurity considerations not typically present in conventional IT security architectures.


Job Description:

As an Operational Technology (OT) Specialist, you will play a pivotal role in guiding the U.S. Army into the OT field by developing and implementing comprehensive policies, roadmaps, and future architectures. You will ensure that OT systems are secure, efficient, and compliant with Army policies and regulations. Your expertise will be essential in integrating OT systems with IT infrastructure, addressing unique cybersecurity challenges, and enhancing the Army's operational capabilities.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Cyber Policy Adherence and Implementation: Ensure all OT systems and security measures comply with Army policies, regulations, and standards.
  • Cyber Strategic Roadmaps and Architectures: Develop and implement strategic cyber roadmaps and architectures to guide the Army's integration and advancement in the OT field.
  • Cybersecurity Measures: Design and implement cybersecurity measures tailored to OT systems, ensuring minimal impact on real-time operations while maintaining high security.
  • System Monitoring and Control: Audit the monitoring and control of physical devices, processes, and events, ensuring system integrity and security.
  • Legacy Systems Management: Address the cybersecurity challenges associated with legacy OT systems, including outdated hardware and software, lack of encryption, and insecure communication protocols.
  • Cyber Innovation and Best Practices: Stay updated on the latest OT security trends, technologies, and best practices to continually improve the Army's OT security posture.

Requirements:

  • Experience: Proven experience in operational technology security, with a focus on securing OT systems in real-time environments. This includes knowledge about RMF and the ATO process
  • Knowledge: In-depth understanding of OT systems, their unique cybersecurity considerations, and the convergence of IT and OT systems.
  • Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to address complex security challenges associated with legacy OT systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Certifications: Relevant cybersecurity certifications (e.g., Security+, CISSP, CISM, GICSP).
  • Education: Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience: Familiarity with industrial control systems (ICS) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
  • Military Background: Experience working with or in the military, understanding military protocols and operational environments.
