ISA’s second annual OT Cybersecurity Summit is set to take place in London, UK on 18-19 June, 2024.
The event will bring together numerous experts in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity, including operators, service companies, regulators and equipment providers.
The ISA event
The summit will comprise two tracks spanning over two days, centring on intelligence evolution and IoT cybersecurity, in addition to hosting panel discussions addressing standards and conformity assessment.
Keynote speakers will include:
- Sarah Fluchs, CTO, admeritia discussing “Security by Design – A Communication Problem?”
- Simon Hodgkinson, formerly CISO, BP exploring “The Intersection of Sustainability and Cybersecurity.”
The event will also feature presentations from over 30 speakers representing organisations such as the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Rolls-Royce, Siemens, Royal Caribbean, Schneider Electric, Cybeats, exida, Cyber ICS, Exiger, Debian, Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI and National Automation.
ISA, recognised for setting technical standards in industrial automation, including ISA/IEC 62443, one of the few consensus-based cybersecurity standards for automation and control systems, will be represented.
In addition to standard development and maintenance, ISA also offers cybersecurity training and credentialing.
“World’s leading voices”
ISA certifies products, processes and systems through its ISASecure certification, raising awareness about OT cybersecurity through its membership consortium, the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (ISAGCA).
Claire Fallon, Executive Director, ISA commented: “The ISA community is comprised of the world’s leading voices on industrial cybersecurity and we are proud to have developed ISA/IEC 62443, the standard behind the most robust and secure operational technologies.
“The ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit stands apart from other cybersecurity events as a venue where attendees can gain practical knowledge about the standard and best practices for its implementation.”
