  • Support executive briefings, key pursuits, and escalations where security strategy is central.
  • Track and interpret relevant standards and regulatory drivers affecting customers (e.g., IEC 62443 concepts, NERC CIP security controls, EU CRA / NIS2 themes, sector-specific requirements where applicable).
  • Translate external requirements into internal guidance for product/solution direction and messaging.
  • Create repeatable frameworks for the Belden Security Strategy: segmentation models, reference architecture at the strategic level, maturity models, and positioning guidance.

Requirements
