In addition, Emerson sites in Austin, Texas, and Manila, Philippines, have received ISASecure Security Development Lifecycle Assurance (SDLA) Level 1 certification. Components within the system are also subjected to robustness testing. The SSA certification applies to industrial control systems and ensures the required security features can be supplied to build a defendable system. ISASecure SSA Level 1 certification covers the most critical standards of cybersecurity standards ANSI/ISA 62443 (IEC 62443). Issued by industry consortium ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI), it certifies that Emerson’s DeltaV control and safety systems are robust against network and system attacks.
Now Emerson has made a formal public announcement, sharing further details behind the certification. “It’s the first and only process control system to receive ISASecure SSA Level 1 certification, rather than look at individual components,” said Peter Zornio, chief technology officer for Emerson Automation Solutions, at the time. After years of work toward this goal, Emerson has achieved the industry’s first ISASecure System Security Assurance (SSA) Level 1 certification for its DeltaV distributed control system (DCS) and safety instrumented system (SIS) v.14.3.Įmerson executives mentioned the certification a couple times during the Emerson Global Users Exchange in San Antonio last fall, noting how it set the company’s DeltaV apart.
With increased connectivity at all levels, it is more important than ever that industrial automation suppliers secure not only networks or individual components but entire automation systems as well.
