• Develop risk treatment plans, cybersecurity roadmaps, and disaster recovery plans
• Create network architecture diagrams and zoning segmentation designs
• Implementation & Configuration
• Configure and deploy OT firewalls, switches, and segmentation appliances (e.g., Fortinet, Juniper, Hirschmann, Cisco, Moxa)
• Implement endpoint protection, application whitelisting, patching, and USB control solutions
• Integrate and tune SIEM, IDS/IPS, and secure remote access platforms
