Regal Rexnord manufactures industrial motion control systems at scale - nearly 30,000 associates worldwide design and build electric motors, power transmission components, bearings, couplings, gear drives, and integrated automation solutions. The company supplies critical mechanical infrastructure across factory automation, food and beverage production, aerospace, medical devices, data centers, warehouse logistics, alternative energy, and building systems.
A cybersecurity hire here contends with manufacturing environments where digital control systems manage physical motion across distributed global operations. The threat model spans supply chain integrity (component authenticity and firmware trustworthiness), operational technology networks (motion control systems that cannot fail safely without consequence), and the intersection of IT/OT where automation platforms connect to enterprise systems. Engineering precision in mechanical subsystems translates to similar rigor expectations in security architecture.
The company operates across eight major industry verticals with varying regulatory requirements - aerospace and medical bring compliance overhead; data centers and alternative energy bring scale and uptime sensitivity; warehouse and factory automation bring the complexity of legacy systems running alongside modern controls. Security work touches both hardened embedded systems in motors and couplings and software-driven automation platforms.
