Message from the new Chairman

“It is my privilege to serve as the Chairman of the Board of the ISA Security Compliance Institute. The work that this organization is responsible for is one of the most important in addressing cybersecurity assurance for industrial control systems (ICS).
I want to thank the outgoing Chairman, Johan Nye, for his leadership and guidance that has resulted in the development of the IEC 62443 standards-based EDSA, SSA and SDLA certifications as the model for certifying ICS security.
In an environment of increasing cybersecurity threats and greater need for more intelligent ICS cyber resiliency, it is good to know that ISASecure® is the logo of choice for ICS cybersecurity assurance.”
Regards, 
Ed Crawford, Chairman of the Board
