Position Summary
The Cybersecurity Architect will plan, design, build, and maintain security solutions and capabilities for a national transportation and LTL logistics environment. This role ensures secure, resilient, and compliant infrastructure across enterprise IT, terminal networks, IoT/OT assets, and SaaS/cloud services. The Architect plays a key role in embedding cybersecurity into digital freight transformation initiatives, regulatory readiness, and operational risk reduction. The Architect will lead the development and governance of cybersecurity architecture standards.
This role collaborates closely with business units, IT leadership, compliance, and legal teams to ensure secure-by-design principles are applied across all technology domains. The Architect will evaluate emerging technologies such as AI/ML logistics use cases, define security metrics and KPIs to measure architecture effectiveness, and provide mentoring to engineering teams. This position is critical in driving a culture of security first design throughout the organization.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and evolve security architecture strategy aligned with transportation systems, fleet technologies, and logistics operations.
- Design secure integration patterns for dispatch systems, warehouse control systems, TMS/WMS, and telematics.
- Lead threat modeling and architectural reviews for applications interfacing with mobile fleets, terminal systems, EDI, and APIs.
- Architect secure cloud and hybrid environments (e.g., AWS for freight analytics or Azure for logistics platforms).
- Support DevSecOps integration across CI/CD pipelines.
- Evaluate security tools that support 24/7 fleet operations—SIEM, EDR, IAM, ZTNA, and endpoint protection on ruggedized devices.
- Collaborate with Infrastructure, DevOps, Fleet Maintenance, and OT Security teams to embed controls into operational systems.
- Drive Zero Trust implementation across mobile workers, OT devices (e.g., IoT gateways), and control systems at terminals.
- Partner with GRC teams to ensure technical controls map to the enterprise risk register and audit-ready control sets.
- Support compliance with SOX, PCI-DSS, HIPAA (if applicable), and evolving DOT/FMCSA guidance on cybersecurity in transportation.
- Other duties as assigned.
