CS-15-17 How to Use ISA Standards in Procurement

Description:

In the digital world it is not possible to perform a visual inspection of an industrial control system to determine the quality attribute of “security”. Hidden behind the fancy graphics and industrial trappings there may be lurking opportunities for mal-actors to insert their own brand of control over your facility, take what they want and leave the rest for their friends in the underworld to devour. Today’s asset owners must arm themselves with new tools that fit with the problems of today and those yet undiscovered of tomorrow. ISA in collaboration with IEC has been in the process of working with industry experts to create the set of industrial cyber security standards, ISA/IEC 62443 as a basis for the measurement of this quality attribute. How will you as the owner of the cyber risk in your business, use this standard to evaluate your vendors? ISASecure independently assesses that a product complies with industry standards like 62443. It builds trust between suppliers and asset owners, who may not have the skills to do these types of assessments themselves. Let ISA Security Compliance Institute show you how.
