DURHAM, N.C. - Feb. 4, 2025 - The International Society of Automation (ISA)—the leading professional society for automation—has announced the full program for its third annual OT Cybersecurity Summit in Brussels June 18-21, 2025. The Summit will draw hundreds of experts in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity at the management level or higher in the energy, manufacturing, water/wastewater, government policy, oil and gas and transportation industries. This two-track, four-day event will be organized around two major topics: threat intelligence and securing the supply chain, with additional panel discussions on utilizing standards and conformity assessments to meet new regulatory needs. Keynote addresses will include: rccb
Joining event keynotes are upward of 20 speakers with sessions on protecting national infrastructure during the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup, turning programmable logic controllers (PLCs) into honeypots with software-defined networking (SDN), smart shipping with continuous reef monitoring using internet of things (IoT) devices, how to use ISA standards to comply with the European Union’s Network and Information Systems Directive 2 (NIS2) and the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) regulations, new threats in the supply chain with an erratic political climate and more. With this conference, ISA is leading the charge to demonstrate how consensus standards and conformity assessment can meet the critical needs arising from current events and new regulation. ISA sets many of the technical standards used in industrial automation, including ISA/IEC 62443, the world’s only consensus-based automation and control systems cybersecurity standards. In addition to developing and maintaining these standards, ISA offers training and credentialing on cybersecurity; certifies products, processes and systems through its ISASecure certification; and raises awareness about the importance of OT cybersecurity through its membership consortium, the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (ISAGCA). “The ISA community includes many of the world’s leading experts on industrial cybersecurity, and we are proud to have developed ISA/IEC 62443, the standards backing the most secure operational technologies,” said Claire Fallon, CEO and executive director of ISA. “The ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit sets itself apart from other cybersecurity events as an opportunity for attendees to gain practical insights about ISA/IEC 62443 and best practices for its implementation.” Attendees of the 2024 event shared positive feedback about their experience:
In addition to a robust technical program, the 2025 OT Cybersecurity Summit will offer multiple additional workshops, special events and industry-leading training opportunities for attendees:
