About the Position
Your vision. Our solutions.
We are seeking an Armis Security Specialist to enhance security in our laboratory and OT/IoT environments, focusing on optimizing Armis-based monitoring and response capabilities.
Responsibilities
Armis Platform Operations
- Serve as day-to-day Armis specialist for R&D labs, supporting configuration, tuning, and ongoing operations.
- Maintain and refine Armis policies, alerts, device classifications, and risk scores for lab-specific use cases.
- Integrate Armis with existing tools for data enrichment.
- Support testing and rollout of new Armis features and use cases in the R&D context.
- Continuously refine device classification, risk scoring, and detection logic to reduce false positives and increase actionable insights.
Lab Asset Visibility & Risk Identification
- Use Armis to maintain an up-to-date inventory of R&D lab devices.
- Identify vulnerable, unsupported, or misconfigured devices and network segments, and document findings.
- Support development of remediation and risk-reduction plans with lab IT, instrument owners, and central cybersecurity.
Policies, Procedures & Controls
- Develop, document, and maintain policies, standards, and procedures for:
- Vulnerability and patch management approaches appropriate for lab equipment.
- Incident detection, triage, and response using Armis.
- Ensure that procedures align with internal security standards and relevant frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST, and GxP where applicable).
Monitoring, Analysis & Incident Support
- Configure and manage Armis alerts and rules for anomalous behavior, policy violations, and suspected compromises.
- Triage and investigate Armis alerts, correlating with other security tools and network logs.
- Provide technical input to security incident response activities involving lab or OT devices (containment strategies, impact analysis, and recovery recommendations).
- Produce reporting on lab asset inventory, risk posture, vulnerabilities, and incident trends, and present findings to stakeholders.
Collaboration & Training
- Work closely with R&D scientists, lab operations, and instrument owners to understand workflows and constraints, ensuring controls are practical and minimally disruptive.
- Support awareness and training sessions for lab users and IT support teams on secure use of lab/OT/IoT devices and Armis-related processes.
Requirements
Required
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or related field; or equivalent practical experience.
- Hands-on experience operating Armis or a similar OT/IoT/medical device security platform.
- 2–4+ years of experience in cybersecurity, network/security operations, or OT/IoT security.
- Solid understanding of network fundamentals (TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, switching, firewalls, NAC concepts), and asset discovery, risk scoring, and anomaly detection concepts.
- Experience creating or implementing security procedures, runbooks, or SOPs.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work with both technical teams and non-technical R&D stakeholders.
Preferred
- Experience in pharmaceutical or biotech R&D environments (discovery, preclinical, translational, or research support labs).
- Familiarity with GxP and computerized system validation principles, and how they influence security controls for lab systems.
- Exposure to SIEM, vulnerability management, NAC, or CMDB tools.
- Relevant certifications (e.g., Security+, GSEC, GICSP, CISSP, or Armis training).
We Offer
- Remote work opportunities in Europe.
- A chance to work in a dynamic and innovative environment.
