About the Job

Requirements

  • You must be in the final year of engineering school or pursuing a Master's degree (Bac+5) in computer science or cybersecurity; an industrial specialization or experience is a plus.
  • You must have cybersecurity knowledge, particularly of OT/ICS frameworks such as IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82.
  • You should be familiar with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) and quantitative risk-analysis methods such as FAIR, NIST SP 800-30, and probabilistic models.
  • You should be interested in developing threat scenarios based on technical references such as MITRE ATT&CK.
  • You must be proficient with office suites including Excel, PowerPoint, and Word; experience with risk-analysis tools such as RiskLens or FAIR Tool is a plus.
  • You should be able to work autonomously on a cross-functional subject, write clear deliverables, and present results to varied audiences including technicians, managers, and regulators.

Responsibilities

  • Study the state of the art in quantitative risk analysis by analyzing existing methodologies, including FAIR, NIST SP 800-30, IEC 62443-3-2, ISO 31010, and probabilistic models, and identifying their limitations for OT/ICS environments.
  • Compare the specific characteristics of OT and IT environments and adapt quantitative analysis methods to industrial environments.
  • Define a structured quantitative risk-analysis methodology covering data collection, risk modeling, score calculation, and action prioritization.
  • Establish quantitative scoring and mitigation mechanisms, and propose security measures by analyzing mitigation cost against residual risk cost.
  • Identify repetitive steps such as data collection, calculation, reporting, and simulation, and propose technical solutions to automate the workflow.

Desired Qualifications

  • An industrial specialization or experience is a plus.
  • Experience with risk-analysis tools such as RiskLens or FAIR Tool is a plus.
