Job Description

We are seeking experienced OT analysts to join a 24/7 SOC team supporting critical OT/ICS environments. Candidates must have hands-on experience analyzing alerts, triaging incidents, and supporting detection efforts within OT/SCADA systems.

Key Responsibilities

Monitor security alerts from SIEM, SOAR, and IIDS tools and investigate potential incidents affecting OT systems.
Analyze ICS/SCADA logs to identify potential indicators of compromise.
Perform initial triage—validate alerts, determine severity, and prioritize based on threat intelligence and event data.
Distinguish between true positives, false positives, and benign activity to reduce unnecessary escalations.
Collaborate with shift leads to refine use cases, tune detection rules, and reduce false positives.
Assist in developing and maintaining runbooks, SOPs, and incident response playbooks.
Document all investigations, findings, and actions in the SOC ticketing system.
Participate in ongoing training, tabletop exercises, and simulations related to OT security.
Stay current on NERC-CIP (2/3), NIST CSF, the Purdue Model, ISO 27001, and other relevant OT security frameworks.

Required Skills & Experience

High school diploma required; bachelor’s in IT, CS, cybersecurity, or related field preferred.
2–4 years of experience in cybersecurity.
1–2 years of experience with OT/SCADA environments is highly desirable.
Certifications such as Network+, Security+, or CYSA+ are a plus.
Foundational knowledge of industrial protocols (DNP3, Modbus, IEC 104).
Experience with SIEM, SOAR, and IIDS platforms.
Strong analytical ability and excellent written/verbal communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in a 24/7 shift-based SOC, including occasional after-hours or teammate coverage.
Efficient alert prioritization and triage in a high-volume SOC.
Contribution to reducing MTTD and MTTR.
Adherence to SOC SLAs.
Strong collaboration with cross-functional teams to strengthen OT security posture.
