As operational technology (OT) environments grow increasingly complex and interconnected, the cybersecurity landscape continues to shift beneath our feet — even as threat actors are evolving faster than ever to exploit the convergence of information technology (IT) and OT networks.
For OT cybersecurity professionals tasked with defending critical infrastructure, manufacturing operations and industrial control systems (ICS), the 2025 International Society of Automation (ISA) OT Cybersecurity Summit will offer a wide range of resources to help stay ahead of the curve.
The summit will take place 18-21 June 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. Here are just a few compelling reasons to attend this year.
1. Two Conference Tracks: Threat Intelligence and Securing the Supply Chain
OT-targeted cyberattacks are no longer theoretical. From supply chain compromises to sophisticated ICS malware like Industroyer2 and Pipedream, the threat landscape is now populated by adversaries with deep technical knowledge of industrial protocols and environments. The 2025 ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit offers direct access to two distinct learning tracks on the latest innovations for a secure world.
Events and sessions addressing both tracks — "Threat Intelligence: Transforming Business and Driving Progress" and "Securing the Supply Chain: Strategies for Mitigating Risk" — will occur simultaneously throughout the two-day conference portion.
2. Explore ISAGCA Offerings and Give Input In-Person
The event will feature several opportunities to get involved and give input on the offerings of the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (ISAGCA). Here are a few ISAGCA-led and ISASecure-led discussions that touch upon the ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards — the world’s leading consensus-based series of IACS standards and a key component of government cybersecurity plans. You can view the complete program for the summit here.
18 June
ISAGCA Panel Discussion: Facing International Regulatory Issues
18 June
ISASecure Panel Discussion: ISA/IEC 62443 Industrial Automation Control System Security Assurance Program (ACSSA)
19 June
ISA/IEC 62443 Round Table Discussion with Chris McLaughlin and Steve Ferguson
Join ISAGCA in walking through the benefits of the ISA/IEC 62443 series for end users and what's still needed for best success globally.
19 June
ISAGCA Workshop: Understanding Incident Command System for Industrial Control Systems (ICS4ICS)
This is your chance to give feedback on what's needed in ICS training and direction for ISAGCA.
20 June
ICS4ICS Workshop
This workshop is designed to enhance cyber incident management skills. Workshop registrants will learn the ICS4ICS framework for responding to cyber incidents with hands-on training, gain access to process templates and deployment guides and leave with tools for assessing their own organization's capabilities.
3. Deepen Your OT Cybersecurity Training
ISA is the home of a comprehensive set of industrial cybersecurity certificate training courses — covering the complete lifecycle of industrial automation and control system (IACS) assessment, design, implementation, operations and maintenance.
In addition to the ICS4ICS workshop, attendees of the ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit may choose to sign up for two highly regarded courses from this program. They will be offered on-site for an additional cost after the conference portion ends. The courses, known as IC32 and IC33, are based on the ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards.

4. Engage with a Cross-Sector Community of Experts
The ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit convenes a unique cross-section of those involved in securing OT systems within their organizations at the management level or higher across a range of critical sectors — facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration. Attendees of the 2025 ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit will have a chance to participate in dozens of expert-led sessions, exhibits and engaging activities like the highly immersive, custom-created OT Cyber Escape Room.
