Job description

We are seeking an experienced Network Architect to support a key OT Segmentation Programme focused on workload discovery, dependency mapping, and security architecture design. This is an excellent opportunity for a Cisco Security Architect with strong Cisco Secure Workload (Tetration) expertise to help shape segmentation strategy across complex IT and OT environments.

Your responsibilities as the Network Architect:

  • Deploy and operate Cisco Secure Workload (Tetration).
  • Discover and analyse OT/ICS application communications.
  • Create Application Dependency Maps (ADMs).
  • Identify workload dependencies across IT, OT and iDMZ environments.
  • Analyse east-west traffic flows and workload communications.
  • Translate discovery findings into segmentation design recommendations.
  • Produce architecture inputs for the OT Segmentation Programme.
  • Configure telemetry collection and manage workload inventories, groupings and labels.

As a successful Network Architect, you will have:

  • Strong hands-on experience with Cisco Secure Workload (Tetration).
  • Experience deploying workload discovery platforms and validating agents.
  • Proven expertise in Application Dependency Mapping (ADM).
  • Experience analysing network traffic and workload dependencies.
  • Knowledge of IT, OT, ICS and iDMZ environments.
  • Ability to produce security architecture and segmentation design recommendations.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and documentation skills.

This Network Architect engagement is focused on discovery, analysis and segmentation design rather than policy enforcement. The successful Network Architect will play a key role in delivering visibility into application communications and supporting the wider OT security strategy.
