Tom Jackson leads OT/ICS cybersecurity programs for the organizations the world can't afford to have go down — power grids, hospitals, semiconductor fabs, and federal systems. In 20+ years and 1,000+ engagements, he has become the advisor CISOs and operating executives call when the risk is real and downtime isn't an option, turning deep engineering expertise into boardroom-ready strategy and measurable business resilience.
- ■Bilingual by design. Tom is equally fluent in control-system engineering and boardroom risk — able to walk a plant floor and brief the C-suite in the same day.
- ■Built for the highest-stakes environments. His programs have protected critical infrastructure across healthcare, energy, semiconductor manufacturing, and federal/defense — sectors where a cyber incident isn't just a data breach, it's a safety event.
- ■An end-to-end view of risk. From the PLC on the plant floor to enterprise GRC, Tom designs security that spans the device, network, and governance layers — not just IT bolted onto OT.
- ■A track record, not a theory. 1,000+ delivered projects and 500+ client engagements across four continents back every recommendation he makes.
- ■Grew OT/ICS/IoT cybersecurity revenue at a 5% CAGR while beating margin goals by 6%.
- ■Delivered 500+ client projects spanning North America, EMEA, APAC, and CALA.
- ■Built and scaled OT cybersecurity practices across healthcare, pharma, oil & gas, utilities, manufacturing, telecom, semiconductor, and federal markets.
- ■Designed and implemented global secure architectures protecting ICS/OT environments and mission-critical infrastructure.
- ■Sought-after speaker at OT/IoT security conferences, sharing thought leadership on ICS cybersecurity, Zero Trust, and AI in OT environments.

Tom's foundation was built working alongside some of the world's most respected organizations in control automation, hi-tech electronics, telecommunications, and data technology — including Booz Allen Hamilton, DMI, Accenture, Ernst & Young, Schneider Electric, Invensys, Nortel, Siemens, Ericsson, Texas Instruments, and Ethyl Chemical Corporation. That path — from semiconductor design and telecom engineering into industrial cybersecurity consulting — gives him a rare, end-to-end view of risk, resilience, and transformation, which he puts to work helping organizations protect their operations, enable digital growth, and stay ahead of an increasingly dynamic threat landscape.
