ISASecure SSA Level 1 certification
distinguishes Emerson’s DeltaV automation system as meeting
cybersecurity requirements for process and safety controls
Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a global technology and engineering leader,
announced today it received the industry’s first ISASecure® System
Security Assurance (SSA™) Level 1 certification for cybersecurity.
This certification, for the company’s newest version of its DeltaV™
distributed control system, is the latest step in Emerson’s
commitment to help provide secure digital transformation solutions
for customers.
The certification, issued by industry consortium ISA Security
Compliance Institute (ISCI), independently certifies that Emerson’s
DeltaV distributed control and safety systems are robust against
network and system attacks. DeltaV, an advanced automation system
that simplifies operational complexity and lowers project risk,
provides smart control capabilities for key industries in oil and
gas operations, refineries, chemical plants and life science
facilities.
“The world’s leading industrial manufacturers are leveraging
transformative digital technologies and methods to improve
production reliability, safety and overall performance while
focusing intensely on cybersecurity,” said Peter Zornio, chief
technology officer for Emerson’s Automation Solutions business. “We
are committed to helping our customers securely optimize their
operations across the globe in an environment of increasing cyber
threats.”
The ISA cybersecurity certification is designed to help the
industry navigate the ever-changing digital landscape and recognize
products with enhanced cybersecurity measures. ISASecure SSA Level
1 certification covers the most critical standards of the
automation industry’s leading family of standards, ANSI/ISA 62443
(IEC 62443).
“ISA developed the ISASecure cybersecurity certification to give
asset owners confidence in their industrial control systems and to
promote supplier best practices that protect automation systems and
the operations they control,” said Andre Ristaino, managing
director of ISCI. “Emerson is taking a leading role that we hope
other vendors will follow in further protecting personnel and
processes alike from today’s increasing security threats.”
