IT Security Analyst

The Security Analyst will support cybersecurity efforts across highly automated manufacturing environments, with a primary focus on Operational Technology (OT) security and vulnerability management. This individual will be responsible for identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and helping remediate security vulnerabilities across connected manufacturing assets and shop-floor environments.Approximately 75% of the role will focus on vulnerability management, with the remaining 25% focused on incident response, threat hunting, network traffic analysis, and related security activities. The analyst will monitor OT environments across approximately 10 locations and partner closely with Advanced Automation, plant operations, network engineering, and cybersecurity teams to reduce risk while maintaining manufacturing availability.Essential Duties and ResponsibilitiesIdentify, assess, prioritize, and track cybersecurity vulnerabilities across OT, industrial, and automated manufacturing environmentsSupport vulnerability management activities across connected shop-floor assets at multiple manufacturing locationsAnalyze vulnerabilities based on technical risk, operational impact, asset criticality, and available remediation or mitigation optionsPartner with Advanced Automation, floor operations, and Network Engineering teams to develop practical remediation strategies that minimize disruption to manufacturing operationsUtilize OT security, asset visibility, vulnerability management, and network traffic analysis platforms to identify risks and suspicious activityMonitor OT network activity and investigate abnormal or potentially malicious behaviorPerform threat hunting and security analysis across manufacturing environmentsParticipate in cybersecurity incident response activities involving OT and manufacturing systemsAnalyze security alerts, network traffic, system information, and available logs to identify potential security eventsAssist with improving security controls, network visibility, and risk management across manufacturing environmentsSupport the evaluation and implementation of new OT cybersecurity technologies and capabilitiesCollaborate with internal technical and operational stakeholders to strengthen cybersecurity practices across manufacturing locationsRequired Qualifications5+ years of cybersecurity experience, with hands-on experience supporting security in OT, ICS, industrial, or manufacturing environmentsStrong experience with vulnerability management, including vulnerability identification, risk prioritization, remediation, mitigation, and trackingExperience securing or monitoring automated manufacturing / shop-floor environmentsUnderstanding of OT/ICS networks and the unique security and operational requirements associated with manufacturing systemsExperience with security monitoring, network traffic analysis, asset visibility, or threat detectionUnderstanding of incident response and threat-hunting conceptsAbility to analyze cybersecurity risk and partner with operational and engineering teams on practical remediation strategiesStrong communication and cross-functional collaboration skillsPreferred QualificationsExperience with Armis, Dragos, or comparable OT cybersecurity/asset visibility platforms such as Claroty, Nozomi Networks, Tenable OT, or Microsoft Defender for IoTExperience supporting cybersecurity across multiple manufacturing facilitiesKnowledge of industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA environments, industrial network segmentation, and common industrial protocolsFamiliarity with security architecture and network security conceptsExperience working directly with automation/controls engineers and plant operations teamsCybersecurity certifications such as CISSP, GICSP, Security+, or similar credentials
