Durham, NC, 1 September 2022 – The ISASecure program is announcing the new ISASecure certification offering for industrial internet of things (IIoT) components based on the ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards.
The IIoT Component Security Assurance (ICSA) certification was inspired by recommendations published in the joint ISA Global Security Alliance (ISAGCA) and ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI) study.
