This collaborative effort by ISA Security Compliance Institute member organizations will promote the integration of disparate security practices into a single, open framework by establishing the ISASecure designation. Compliant products will be entitled to carry the ISASecure designation, which provides instant recognition of the product's security characteristics to asset owners and integrators when making procurement decisions. "As an internationally-recognized leader in industrial cyber-security and a trusted advisor to many of our member organizations, we are very excited to welcome Wurldtech into the ISA Security Compliance Institute as a Technical Member," said Andre Ristaino, Managing Director, ISA Security Compliance Institute.
