Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.
When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.
The Segment CISO is the senior cybersecurity leader for the Power and Energy segment, accountable for protecting enterprise value across its operations, customers, and supply chain. The role leads business partners, IT professionals, cybersecurity contributors, and suppliers to deliver security solutions aligned with the business strategy, with direct accountability for segment-specific cybersecurity functions and technology supporting areas such as customer relationship management, manufacturing, and supply chain.
The leader identifies cybersecurity risks and opportunities in the business, develops business-aligned solutions, prioritizes resources, negotiates contracts, guides team members, and consults with segment executives so that security enables growth rather than constraining it. The role owns the segment's cyber risk posture, incident readiness, and compliance, and represents the segment in enterprise security governance.
Own the segment cybersecurity strategy and multi-year roadmap, aligned to the segment business strategy and the enterprise cybersecurity program, and report progress and risk to the Group CIO and segment leadership.
Serve as the segment's senior cyber risk advisor: identify, quantify, and prioritize cyber risk across CRM, manufacturing and operational technology, supply chain, and product-connected systems, and drive risk decisions with business owners.
Translate enterprise security policies, standards, and architectures into segment-specific controls, and hold application, infrastructure, and plant teams accountable for adoption.
Lead segment incident readiness and response in partnership with the enterprise Security Operations Center, including plant and OT incident playbooks, tabletop exercises, and business continuity coordination.
Embed security into the segment's delivery lifecycle: secure-by-design reviews, third-party and supplier risk assessments, cloud and AI adoption guardrails, and remediation of audit and assessment findings.
Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory, contractual, and customer security requirements across the segment's global footprint, and represent the segment in internal and external audits.
Cybersecurity & Manufacturing Expertise
Working knowledge of relevant frameworks and regulations (NIST CSF, ISO 27001, IEC 62443, data protection, export controls); CISSP, CISM, or equivalent preferred.
