A standards-focused partnership between ISA and OTCC points to a quieter kind of cybersecurity battle: turning fragmented industrial security into something operators can actually implement.
OTCC’s addition of SANS Institute puts a familiar cyber truth in sharper focus: critical infrastructure defense depends as much on trained people as on technical controls.
OTCC is pressing U.S. policymakers to formally recognize ISA/IEC 62443, a move that could simplify industrial security language without erasing the messy realities of legacy operations.
