Attendance more than doubled in the event's
second year
LONDON, June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Society of
Automation (ISA) – the leading professional society for automation
– hosted its second-annual OT Cybersecurity Summit this week in
London. The event boasted a 117%
increase in attendance year over year, with 260 attendees, 34
sessions, 44 speakers and 14 sponsors.
"This is only the second year that ISA has hosted the OT
Cybersecurity Summit, but already this event is recognized as the
leading venue for conversations about operational technology and
industrial cybersecurity," said Claire
Fallon, ISA CEO and executive
director. "As developers of the ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards,
ISA is uniquely positioned to provide thought leadership, training
and certification on these critical standards that are used the
world over to ensure that industrial facilities are safe and
secure."
The event included two tracks on intelligence evolution and
internet of things (IoT) cybersecurity as well as an exclusive
cybersecurity escape room experience designed specifically for ISA.
In addition, ISA offered its most popular training courses - Using
the ISA/IEC 62443 Standards to Secure Your Control Systems (IC32)
and Assessing the Cybersecurity of New Existing IACS Systems (IC33)
- as well as a workshop on the ISA/IEC 62443 series of
standards.
Attendees shared their positive feedback:
- "Cybersecurity is really a team sport, so there needs to be
more ongoing collaboration between product vendors and asset
owners. This event provides just the right environment for these
conversations."
- "Being part of ISA is all about knowledge sharing, community
and collaboration. The collaborative community sets ISA events
apart – the event doesn't "end" because we stay in touch and
continue to work throughout the year to help solve some of the big
challenges in cybersecurity."
- "I love ISA events! The people are awesome – they are warm
hearted, intellectual and passionate about engineering. They are
people that definitely know their stuff but they aren't know it
alls, so it's a really cool environment."
ISA announced the next OT Cybersecurity Summit will take place
in Brussels, Belgium, on
17-19 June 2025. For more information
