(Sr.) Software Engineer - Network Defense

TXOne Networks provides solutions for tackling security weaknesses prevalent across industrial environments. We listen to the needs of both leading manufacturers and critical infrastructure operators to develop the best actionable approach within partnering companies. The result is customized technology that goes beyond traditional security tools to mitigate complex challenges. Given the ICS environments are layered and composed of a variety of equipment in different operating systems, TXOne Networks offers both network-based and endpoint-based products to secure the OT network and mission critical devices in a real-time defense-in-depth manner. Both IT and OT can have comprehensive visibility regarding the ICS assets, protocols, control commands, risks, and threats. The goal is not only to maximize ICS protection, but also to keep the business and operation running even when security is being breached in some way. We are on a mission to secure Industry 4.0 by developing the next-generation Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and firewall tailored for the convergence of IT and Operational Technology (OT). As industries embrace higher productivity and lower costs, they also face increased cyber threats. Our goal is to protect critical Industrial Control System (ICS) assets on OT networks from cyber-attacks while providing OT managers with enhanced network visibility and easy management tools. The core of our technology is a one-pass scanning Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) software engine capable of detecting hidden malicious attacks, identifying IT and OT applications, and recognizing assets on OT networks. Join us in the battle against hackers and criminals targeting critical infrastructures and smart factories. Key Responsibilities • Design and implement the next-generation Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) that effectively prevents unauthorized access and attacks on networked ICS assets. • Develop the next-generation firewall, focusing on advanced security features, ease of use for OT managers, and seamless integration into existing systems. • Study and implement OT protocol dissectors to enhance OT security and provide comprehensive visibility into network operations and communications. • Design and implement active query mechanisms to accurately retrieve and catalog asset information, aiding in network management and threat detection. • Collaborate with a team of experts in cybersecurity, network engineering, and software development to deliver cutting-edge solutions for OT network security. • Stay abreast of the latest cybersecurity trends and threats, continuously improving our IPS and firewall technologies to counter emerging cyber threats effectively. • Engage with stakeholders to understand their security needs and tailor solutions that meet and exceed their expectations while maintaining the integrity and reliability of their OT environments.
