ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (ISAGCA)

The ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (ISAGCA) is a global organization formed by the International Society of Automation (ISA) to address the growing need for securing automation and control systems in industrial environments. Established in 2019, ISAGCA was built as a forum for industrial automation and cybersecurity, bringing together technology providers, asset owners, government agencies, and other stakeholders to develop common approaches for industrial cybersecurity. Its mission is to promote awareness and outreach, foster collaboration, and create alignment across sectors that rely on operational technology, particularly in manufacturing and critical infrastructure.

The alliance plays a central role in driving advocacy and adoption of internationally recognized standards and frameworks, including ISA/IEC 62443, which provides a structured model for compliance and prevention against cyber threats in industrial settings. By engaging regulatory agencies and industry leaders, ISAGCA works to ensure these standards are harmonized globally, thereby improving interoperability and reducing risks. The organization also provides training and education resources to help enterprises and individuals build expertise in securing automation environments, ensuring that the workforce is equipped to meet evolving threats.

For manufacturers, ISAGCA represents both a thought leader and an operational partner in advancing cybersecurity maturity. Its members are committed to strengthening compliance efforts, developing new tools for risk management, and addressing the vulnerabilities that arise from increasingly connected industrial systems. By establishing a trusted foundation for collaboration, ISAGCA helps enterprises align cybersecurity practices with business objectives, making industrial operations more resilient to disruptions and attacks.

Imprivata solutions complement the goals of ISAGCA by enabling manufacturers to secure digital identities, strengthen authentication, and enforce access controls within industrial environments. As manufacturing organizations adopt the frameworks and best practices advanced by ISAGCA, Imprivata helps bridge the gap between compliance requirements and day-to-day operations. By supporting regulatory alignment, secure workforce access, and protection of sensitive systems, Imprivata ensures that manufacturers not only meet global cybersecurity standards but also safeguard productivity and innovation across their operations.
