You are the technical SME responsible for Zero Trust security deployment across physical security, OT, SCADA, and IoT environments at over 100 facilities. You are part of a team that designs site-specific security architectures, govern a purpose-built OT Zero Trust platform, manage partner integrations, and ensure every network-connected physical security device achieves compliance without disruptive equipment replacement.

  • Zero Trust architecture design for OT/SCADA/ICS environments. 
  • Network segmentation isolating OT traffic from enterprise and IT networks. 
  • Federal FISMA and NIST 800-53 compliance experience. 
  • Documented OT security deployments in manufacturing, critical infrastructure, or federal environments. 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Zero Trust experience.
  • Fortinet Federal product suite. 
  • ATO process support — SSP development, POA&M management, security assessment documentation. 
  • Physical security system integration — IP cameras, access control, badge systems, emergency notification. 
  • Prior federal agency cybersecurity experience. 

CERTIFICATIONS:
  • Required: CISSP — Certified Information Systems Security Professional. 
  • Fortinet NSE4 — Network Security Professional (minimum). 
  • [Preferred] Fortinet NSE7 — Enterprise Firewall or SD-WAN. 
  • [Preferred] GICSP — Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional.
