Operations Technology cyber is a real hot area but hard to jump into without experience

EY OT cyber here, all of us come from vendors in the ICS space. Very small group as well, but we're always looking for more people as projects stack up. Prefer strong network and server infrastructure experience, we can usually train the rest. The main thing to know aside from how the vendors operate is instead of CIA, it's safety and then AIC. Not a lot of us out there so it's a very in demand skill set right now.

Cyber security is a very broad area, develop holistic knowledge and build deep skill in some areas such as security analytics IAM etc...

Strong IoT is also a must for OT - cloud security is rocketing, O365, Azure, GCP, AWS

C1 when it comes to travel in the OT group I have bad news...it's almost constant.

like

SecDevOps, Agile Security, Zero Trust Architecture... combined with a strong business acumen. The stars in cyber can speak business with executives, but also speak assembly language hacks with old school pen testers.

E1- so right. I’ve been told time and time again that my most important asset is understanding business and how security relates

@EY2 - what area at EY is this?

How can I get into EY OT . Am I able to work remotely or heavy travel? Mostly looking for remote work and minimal travel. Would any of you refer ? I have years of Azure and AWS , DevOps experience + prior core Cybersecurity and IT Compliance + Audit experience in my previous life :) all 5 AWS certs, 3 Azure certs, 1 GCP , CISSP and CISA too - 12 years of experience

Thank you, E3 for the confirmation - guess it won’t be a fit for me then.

Was wondering if anyone has thoughts on such roles or...is it a dead end approach.

Asking for two of my friends. Age around 22. 1 has done B.Sc in Nursing. And the other has done B.Sc in Agriculture. Both have become hopeless into their respective fields after looking for job and not being able to fetch any better. They want to switch to IT. My question is can they do this if acquired sufficient skills! I mean irrespective of their background, will a company hire them as a intern or fresher? If it's possible, then kindly suggest. TIA. 🙏🏻

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
