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.

Our processes are divided amongst design and architecture, monitoring and logging, and vulnerability management.

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.
