This is an exciting opportunity to join Phase 2 Innovate UK-funded CyberASAP project CyDRA aiming to address Risk Assessment in Transactions under Security Threats. This role focuses on the development of a desktop software application to address complex challenges in securing critical infrastructure and industrial systems. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in OT security, IIoT, and software development, with a deep understanding of threat modelling, risk analysis, and security architecture design.

Key Responsibilities:

• Model Transactions Under Security Threats: Develop software solutions to simulate transactional processes within systems exposed to security threats, enabling an accurate representation of vulnerabilities and attack vectors.
• Design Security Architecture and Behavior Analysis: Create tools to design and evaluate security solutions, analysing the behaviour of both systems and potential adversaries through simulated transactions.
• Risk Calculation: Implement algorithms and methodologies to calculate security risks based on input from security analytics, helping stakeholders prioritise and address vulnerabilities effectively.
• Impact Analysis: Develop capabilities to assess the influence of proposed security infrastructures on overall system risk, ensuring solutions are effective and efficient.

First Degree in Cyber Security or closely related discipline
Desirable: Current MSc/PhD in AI or Cyber Security

• Proficiency in OT security and IIoT domains, with experience in threat detection, neutralization, and prevention.
• Expertise in security risk modeling, analysis tools, and simulation methodologies.
• Strong programming skills in developing desktop applications, with a focus on robust design and user-friendly interfaces.
• Ability to understand complex industrial processes and integrate them into software models for security infrastructure planning.
