- Define security hardening measures for all IT, OT, and Cloud systems to mitigate vulnerabilities and reduce attack surfaces.

Conduct regular security assessments and audits to ensure compliance with hardening guidelines.

3. Continuous Monitoring and SOC Integration

- Connect required log sources to the SOC for continuous monitoring.

- Ensure the proper application of SOC use cases to maintain situational awareness and proactive security posture.

- Perform firewall rule reviews and other security configurations to support advanced threat detection and mitigation.

- Provide periodic (and eventually realtime) operational outcome-driven security metrics, to be included in our security dashboard.

4. Segregation between IT & OT

- Design and implement network segmentation strategies to securely separate IT and OT environments.

- Ensure secure data exchange between IT and OT systems while preventing cyber threats from spreading across environments.

5. Security Architecture

- Develop a global security architecture and solutions that include IT, OT, and Cloud systems and solutions while ensuring efficient integration and operations in cooperation with the Cloud & Infra team.

- Lead efforts to standardize security practices across the organization, leveraging the latest technologies and methodologies.

- Stay up-to-date with the latest security systems, standards, authentication protocols, and products.
