Cybersecurity Technical Specialist (Project Hire)

At Disney, we’re storytellers. We make the impossible, possible. The Walt Disney Company is a world-class entertainment and technological leader. Walt’s passion was to continuously envision new ways to move audiences around the world—a passion that remains our touchstone in an enterprise that stretches from theme parks, resorts and a cruise line to sports, news, movies, and a variety of other businesses. Uniting each endeavor is a commitment to creating and delivering unforgettable experiences — and we’re constantly looking for new ways to enhance and protect these exciting experiences. 
 

The Attractions Operational Technology (AOT) Cybersecurity team provides services and solutions to secure and enhance the reliability of the computer and control networks on which the rides and shows run in our theme parks.  This is done through risk evaluation, collaboration, standardization, enforcement, and education across the business segment.  Our team is engaged in both the new themed attractions as well as our legacy attractions.  The team roles are divided amongst design and architecture, monitoring and logging, and vulnerability management.  
 

We are looking for a team member with a passion for security in an operational technology setting.  The successful candidate will demonstrate a friendly, collaborative approach to applying their skills – both through requesting and offering feedback to the team members that surround them. 

The AOT Cybersecurity team partners with many other divisions to design, build and integrate cybersecurity solutions that proactively protect Disney assets, systems, data, and guests in our parks. 

This is a 24-month Project Hire role through the end of 2027.
