On Wednesday, 11 May 2016, The North Carolina Army National Guard presented an award of appreciation on behalf of National Guard Bureau to the International Society of Automation (ISA) for its contributions in supporting Cyber Shield 2016, a nationwide training and assessment exercise designed to develop, train, and exercise cyber elements, threat analysis teams, incident handling, reporting mechanisms, and leaders.
More than 1,000 soldiers from the Army National Guard, Air National Guard and Army Reserve as well as airmen, Marines, sailors, and civilians representing 47 states and territories participated in Cyber Shield 2016, held 17-30 April 2016 at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. A core focus of the exercise was training cyber teams on network defense, forensic analysis, reporting and mitigation, and incident response through interagency partnerships and collaboration.
ISA was selected by the National Guard to provide hands-on industrial cybersecurity training based on its ISA/IEC 62443 series of industrial automation and control system security standards. The world’s only consensus-based series of industrial cybersecurity standards, ISA/IEC 62443 is designed to prevent critical damage to the industrial plant systems and networks used in power generation, water treatment, refineries and other vital industrial facilities.
