Maersk is going through times of unprecedented change.

Digitization and IT are taking center stage in enabling our customers to trade globally. Join us in Maersk

Technology as we re-think what technology can do.

Established app 1 year ago, the Vessel and Asset IT is a specialized function with focus on engineering and services for the fleet of 300+ vessel and 3+ million containers. We are growing in numbers to cater for the increasing demand of services leveraging the vast amount of data that our fleet of vessels and containers already generate or can be enabled to generate.

To further our activities leveraging operational data and remote management of OT/ICS, we are seeking an IT/OT/ICS practiced Security Architect with proven understanding and adoption of ICS / IT security and integration and strong networking and systems security skills to join our growing team. In this position, you will be responsible for the security architecture and controls between Vessel Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Shore Side operation technology (OT/IT) including Vessel ICS secure connection and communication within the scope of Vessel Modernization while being under the global standards and controls set by Maersk global INFOSEC and central TSEO security compliance Teams.

Responsibilities will include the design of Vessel side network and system security, including segmentation, identity systems, virtual networks, firewalls, VPNs, endpoint protection (EPP/EDR), data/device inspection technologies, and cloud integration. In addition to architecture the role will include elements of planning upgrades and transformation/migration, which may include working with 3rd party integrators for planning the implementation of new solutions. Defining routine maintenance mechanisms or processes for patches or updates within change management controls. Requirements definition will be needed for new product selection and validation of those products under the technical & functional constrains of Vessel communications which have very low bandwidth and high latency and variable online/offline network availability.

The Security Architect will effectively become the ‘go to’ project-pivot point-of-authority for all security related design policy and strategy decisions outside of InfoSec within the Vessel and asset service domain of Maersk.
