Book a call to discuss your OT staff augmentation requirements
Industrial OT security programmes fail when capability cannot scale at the pace of risk.
Whether you are securing manufacturing sites, modernising industrial networks, responding to regulatory pressure, or accelerating a transformation initiative — the difference between strategy and success is experienced OT delivery capability.
Harpoon Consulting deploys vetted OT security staff – proven OT practitioners who understand operational risk, uptime sensitivity and industrial complexity – directly into live industrial environments.
Access to proven OT security professionals
Harpoon provides specialist OT security staff across the full industrial cybersecurity lifecycle. Every individual is screened by experienced OT practitioners for real-world industrial delivery experience — not just IT security credentials.
We deploy capability across three layers:
Technical OT Security Specialists
Hands-on engineers who design, implement and sustain OT security controls inside operational environments.
Typical roles include:
- OT Security Engineer
- Industrial Network Architect
- Asset Discovery & Visibility Specialist
- Vulnerability Management Engineer
- Firewall and Network Segmentation Engineer
- OT SOC Analyst / OT Incident Responder
- Integration and Deployment Engineer
These are practitioners experienced in working inside production facilities, critical infrastructure and safety-sensitive environments — not generalist IT security resources.
Programme & Delivery Leadership
Experienced leaders who ensure OT security initiatives are governed, structured and delivered effectively across single-site and multi-site environments.
Typical roles include:
- OT Security Project Manager
- OT Programme Lead / OT PMO
- OT Change and Adoption Manager
- Compliance Delivery Lead
- Site Implementation Coordinator
- OT Transformation Delivery Manager
These professionals understand how to align engineering, operations and security teams — ensuring momentum without disrupting production.
Strategic & Advisory Leadership
Senior specialists who align business risk to OT security outcomes and build long-term capability maturity.
Typical roles include:
- Head of OT Security
- OT Security Architect (Enterprise / Solution)
- OT Risk and Compliance Consultant
- Virtual OT CISO (vOT-CISO)
- OT Security Strategy Advisor
This is strategic OT leadership grounded in operational reality — not theory.
