SICE Industry

SICE reaffirms the role of the academic society as a hub of industry and academia. We want to make SICE a place where corporate engineers and university researchers want to gather. Under the initiative of "SICE Industry," we will promote open innovation to fill the gap between industry and academia. Here we introduce events and sessions recommended for participants from the industrial sector.

What’s SICE Industry?

The driving force behind this initiative is to narrow the gap between academia and companies, and to expand SICE's contribution to solving social issues. We aim to revitalize the industrial sector in SICE and to directly contribute to industry. By doing so, we aim to provide a place for research activities, information sharing, and human resource co-creation to solve social issues based on the foundation of measurement and control technology.

SICE Industry is promoted by the SICE Industry Committee.

The 4th event is organized and sponsored by IFAC Foundation and JAAC, separated from SICE-DIA. Because there is no special page to introduce it, SICE-DIA indicates this important event.




JEMIMA Special Talk

Cybersecurity for Industrial Automation and Control System - Challenge of ISA/IEC 62443

Mr. Eric C. Cosman, ISA Life Fellow and Past President (2020)

Abstract: Cybersecurity threats to industrial automation control systems (IACS) have become a reality, and many companies and governments are taking actions. ISA began developing the ISA99; IACS cybersecurity standard in 2002. Later, ISA99 collaborated with IEC to develop the ISA/IEC62443 series, of which 10 have now been published. In addition, in relation to these standards, ISCI (ISA Security Compliance Institute) conducts certification tests for control components and systems to comply with security standards, and ISAGCA (ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance) conducts cybersecurity awareness, education, preparation, and Facilitate knowledge sharing. This keynote will talk the status of these IACS cybersecurity standards and related activities.

Biography: Eric provides consulting and advisory services in the management of information technology solutions in operations and engineering. He is a past vice president of standards and practices at ISA and is currently a member of the ISA executive board and co-chair of the ISA99 committee on industrial control systems security.




Special Panel Session

Friday August 30, 13:30-15:15, Room A211

OT Cybersecurity – Standards and Regulations Status

Moderators: Hiroo Kanamaru (Mitsubishi Electric), Akio Ito (Waseda University)

Panelists: Eric C. Cosman (ISA Life Fellow and Past President (2020)), Alexander W. Koehler (UL Solutions), Toshio Miyaji (JPCERT/CC), Hiroshi Hoshino (Yokogawa Electric), Eigo Fukai (Toshiba Infra Sys & Sol)

Each country is promoting legislation and policies for OT cybersecurity measures, and international standards organizations are also developing standards. Experts will introduce trends in the United States, Europe, and Japan, as well as the development status of ISA/IEC 62443. In addition, companies will introduce examples of compatible products. Attendees will be able to ask questions to the panelists, so we hope for an active discussion.
