Background

About Nuwan Abeyratne

Over 13 years of practical experience as a Control Systems and ICS/OT Cybersecurity Engineer within the industrial process automation sector. My core strengths lie in on-field commissioning, startup, and operations support for Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), PLCs, SCADA, and industrial networking, alongside robust operational technology (OT) cybersecurity capabilities. I have a proven ability to lead complex ICS/OT projects effectively in live operational environments. In my dual roles at Chevron, I leverage this expertise globally and locally. As an OT Cybersecurity Engineer (Lead) at the Global Chevron Technical Centre, I direct technical implementation projects across diverse international regions and provide specialized ICS/OT Cybersecurity guidance to the global business. Simultaneously, as the ICS/OT Cyber Project Deployment Coordinator for Australia, I lead dedicated cross-functional teams in the technical deployment of advanced cyber defense capabilities to Chevron Australia's LNG assets, significantly raising their ICS/OT environments to world-class cybersecurity standards.
