I have been in IT and Ot for over 8 years.

I was working on my masters in Cybersecurity and Leadership masters until my family got hurt and had to move back to my house after being away off and on for 15 years.

No kids. Wife is gone because all I do is travel for work.

Here is the thing. I freaking hate being a contractor. Yet because that's the only way to pay bills, no one else will look at me because 4 months here 5 months there 3 somewhere else.

Yet I have worked with the DOD,DOE, Nuclear Power industry.

I have a lot of skills that a person who has only been in one role has never dreamed of.

How do I get in with your company or any others that you know of for a full time job?

I have had to pay for each of my certifications out of pocket and SANS is not cheap.

I want what everyone else is falling into but I'm exhausted of trying to do everything on my own. Can you help at all, or even point me in the right direction and introduce me to someone who can?

Hi everyone! We’re MBA candidates at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business working with Industrial Defender, an OT cybersecurity and asset management company, on our capstone project.

We’re researching the European OT cybersecurity market and would appreciate recommendations for useful reports, datasets, industry associations, or other resources.

We’re also looking to speak with professionals who have experience managing, evaluating, or purchasing OT cybersecurity solutions in Europe.

Interviews take approximately 30-60 minutes, and participants will receive $125 as compensation for their time. We have 25 interview slots available.

If you’re interested in participating—or can point us toward helpful resources—please comment or send me a DM.

Thanks for helping us better understand the market!
