Setting the Standard for Automation™ The International Society of Automation (ISA) is a non-profit professional association founded in 1945 to create a better world through automation. ISA advances technical competence by connecting the automation community to achieve operational excellence. The organization develops widely used global standards; certifies industry professionals; provides education and training; publishes books and technical articles; hosts conferences and exhibits; and provides networking and career development programs for its members and customers around the world. ISA created the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (isa.org/ISAGCA) to advance cybersecurity readiness and awareness in manufacturing and critical infrastructure facilities and processes. The Alliance brings end-user companies, automation and control systems providers, IT infrastructure providers, services providers, system integrators, and other cybersecurity stakeholder organizations together to proactively address growing threats. ISA owns Automation.com, a leading online publisher of automation-related content, and is the founding sponsor of The Automation Federation (automationfederation.org), an association of non-profit organizations serving as “The Voice of Automation.” Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, ISA bridges the gap between standards and their implementation with the ISA Security Compliance Institute (isasecure.org) and the ISA Wireless Compliance Institute (isa100wci.org).

Since 1933, the industrial sector has looked to IEN for the latest news and information on products, components and equipment. Applying this knowledge to their purchasing decisions has led the industrial engineer to solutions that ensure operational efficiency and cost effectiveness in their manufacturing and product development initiatives. IEN continues in its product-centric traditions by leveraging print, web, video, email, and social media to distribute this vital information. The newly packaged IEN still produces a bi-monthly print publication, but we have also launched a collection of daily e-newsletters supported by a constantly updated, new IEN.com, and a new web series, IEN Now. The brand can also be tracked on Twitter (@IEN_Now), Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn. IEN is led by President Tom Lynch, Regional Sales Manager Chuck Marin, Director of Multimedia Eric Sorensen, and the editorial team of Anna Wells, David Mantey, and Jeff Reinke.
