Remote Pro Ai provides vetted OT / ICS Security Engineers who protect industrial control systems in energy, utilities and smart-city infrastructure. They segment OT networks against IEC 62443 and the Purdue model, deploy passive monitoring with Nozomi, Claroty or Dragos, and harden PLC, SCADA and DCS remote access.
Your OT Security Engineer assesses and segments OT networks against IEC 62443 and the Purdue model, and hardens PLC / SCADA / DCS environments and remote access. Typical stack: Nozomi, Claroty, Dragos, Fortinet OT and Modbus / DNP3 / OPC UA.
OT security is one of the scarcest specialisms in cybersecurity. Energy, utilities and giga-project infrastructure across the Gulf are connecting plants to corporate networks and cloud analytics, while NCA’s OT controls set explicit expectations. Few engineers combine industrial protocols, safety culture and modern detection, so demand far exceeds supply.

MatchIQ™ is our vetting and matching engine: 3.4% of applicants pass 5 gates. The live assessment for this role tests the 5 capabilities above against a realistic task, not trivia.
Self-serve bookings receive a shortlist within 48 hours and enterprise requests get named candidates within 72 hours. After you approve a profile and sign, your specialist is working within 4 working days, whether the request is on the bench, off-bench or on-site. When fewer than 5 OT Security Engineer profiles are on the bench, we shortlist from the wider vetted network in the same 48 hours.
Pricing is quotation-based and depends on level, hours and any on-site, clearance or data-residency needs. Current bands: Mid from USD 5,120/month · Senior from USD 6,730/month · Lead from USD 8,740/month. VAT is shown separately, quotes can be viewed in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, and every quotation is valid for 30 days. The Squad Builder shows your quote instantly.
Remote Pro Ai is contractually responsible for quality. Raise it at any time: a replacement starts within 4 working days; the full handover completes in under 14 days. Your first engagement also begins with a no-bill trial, one per company: 5 working days on self-serve bookings and 10 on enterprise contracts.
This role is offered at Mid, Senior and Lead level. We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms each specialist’s level through a live technical assessment and reference checks, so the band on your quotation reflects scope the person has already delivered rather than a job title on a CV.
No. Engineers deploy passive monitoring that listens to mirrored traffic rather than polling devices, so control systems are unaffected. Every change follows your plant’s management-of-change and safety procedures, is scheduled with operations and is tested in a non-production environment where one exists.
IEC 62443 is the international standard family for industrial automation and control-system security. Engineers use it to define zones and conduits, assign target security levels and specify segmentation, access and monitoring controls, aligned with the Purdue model and your actual plant architecture.
Industrial protocols including Modbus, DNP3 and OPC UA, with Nozomi, Claroty, Dragos and Fortinet OT for visibility, detection and segmentation. Many engineers hold GICSP or ISA/IEC 62443 Specialist certification, verified with the issuer before their profile reaches you. Experience spans oil and gas, utilities and manufacturing environments.
Yes. Engineers map your environment to NCA’s OT cybersecurity controls (OTCC) and sector regulators’ requirements, identify gaps and produce a prioritised remediation plan. They also design IT/OT convergence security and incident playbooks, so your SOC can respond to OT events safely.
