• Assist with maintaining a high-quality OT asset inventory
• Perform basic troubleshooting for discovery configurations, integrations, and platform health issues, escalating as needed
• Monitor OT security alerts, identify anomalies, and support investigation and escalation processes
• Support ongoing improvement of OT metrics (e.g., asset designation, collector health, visibility gaps) through continuous data cleanup and validation
• Assist with onboarding new sites, validating OT asset inventory, and supporting enforcement or audit readiness activities
