Cyber Ot / Iiot Security Professional, Senior Associate/ Assistant Manager

KPMG has established a strong cybersecurity consulting practice servicing clients from a wide array of sectors including energy, water, oil &
gas, maritime, aviation, healthcare, transportation or telecommunications. Many of our clients own or operate critical infrastructure in Singapore and across the Asia Pacific region, providing essential resources and services to people in their daily lives. Cybersecurity has a big part to play in keeping cyber threats away and minimising risk of disruption to our way of life.
Cybersecurity in Operational Technology (OT) is a challenging but fulfilling field. One challenging aspect of this field is that it sits in intersection of two disciplines that usually do not intersect. Cybersecurity has its origins in Information Technology (IT), while OT system and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are used by engineers to control and monitor physical processes. Professionals with expertise in both disciplines are rare. OT security is also a fulfilling field because we have been tasked by our clients to solve a broad range of issues including regulatory compliance, cyber risk assessments, penetration testing, red teaming, incident response and more. We have been successful in delivering quality services to our clients because of our ability to constantly evolve and the teamwork between a good blend of our cybersecurity and engineering professionals.
