• Apply relevant security architecture standards and frameworks, including IEC 62443 concepts such as zones, conduits and Security Levels, to OT architecture and control design.
• Define security controls across identity, privileged access, networks, endpoints, cloud platforms, applications, data, industrial systems, engineering workstations, servers, sensors, monitoring platforms and third-party services.
• Evaluate IT/OT integration points and define appropriate network segmentation, access control, remote-access, monitoring, logging and data-flow requirements.
• Design and review industrial security monitoring and sensor architectures, including sensor placement, coverage, connectivity, integration and operational support requirements.
• Assess architecture risks arising from legacy technologies, vendor dependencies, constrained patching, high-availability requirements and complex enterprise or industrial environments.
• Produce clear, implementation-ready security architecture documentation, including Security Architecture Documents, high-level and low-level designs, architecture diagrams, control matrices, risk assessments, decision records and implementation requirements.
• Work with control-system engineers, operations, infrastructure, application, cloud, security, risk, compliance and third-party stakeholders to resolve design issues and technical constraints.
• Support security design governance, architecture review boards, security assurance, testing, risk-acceptance and design-approval decisions.
