Job Description
The Network & Cybersecurity Solution Consultant is a client-facing technical leader and trusted advisor responsible for designing, positioning, and delivering secure network and cybersecurity solutions for industrial (OT/ICS) environments.
You will bridge the gap between our risk, operational requirements, and technical implementation, helping customers develop holistic cybersecurity strategies in consideration of frameworks such as NIST CSF and IEC 62443.
The consultant operates across the full lifecycle-from discovery and architecture to sales support, proof-of-concept, and solution delivery-while ensuring both our teams and customers to succeed.
