Our aim is to become the largest and most influential community of interest association for Operational technology (OT) security professionals and the associated community and at only £120.00 per annum (£10 per month) members fees to provide a valuable platform that allows members and sponsors to connect, share knowledge, expertise and know-how on cyber resliiance and online security for OT, IoT, IIoT, ICS, IT and AI.

Operational Technologies and Mission Critical Cyber Security

For thousands of leading companies around the globe, the IOTSA provides a sharing and networking platform to develop a knowledge base and source of materials to help inform as well as provide practical thought leadership, resources and insights to help improve the security resilience of critical infrastructures. Formed by a group of senior OT security professionals, who identified a general lack of appropriate security policies, standards or frameworks across the OT industry, the IOTSA, as one of its objectives, is dedicated to establishing a baseline for improved operational security practices that can be adopted across the OT industry as a whole.
