SUMMARY:75th Annual Instrumentation and Automation Symposium
DESCRIPTION:75 Year Special Commemoration  \nABOUT\nIn 1946\, the first Short Course on Instrumentation for the Process Industries was held to educate professionals and students in the instrumenation and automation industries. Although it is now known as the Instrumentation and Automation Symposium and the tools used for instrumentation and control continue to evolve\, many industry objectives have remained. The Instrumentation and Automation Symposium for the Process Industries\, now in its 75th year\, continues to educate professionals and students. The Symposium focuses on current critical areas in instrumentation and automation. Topics include but are not limited to: Instrument Reliability\, Instrumented Safeguards\, Technology Focus\, and Regulatory Compliance. At the symposium\, practical technical papers as well as vendor exhibits are presented with a focus on education. \nWe are proud to announce that the Instrumentation and Automation Symposium for the Process Industries and the International Society of Automation (ISA) will collaborate for this year’s conference. Over the last 75 years these two institutions have served the needs of the manufacturing and engineering industries by providing training\, research\, practice development\, communication and networking to drive efficiency and safety. \nDon’t miss the chance to help celebrate 75 years of two well respected institutions: \nThe Instrumentation and Automation Symposium for the Process Industries and the ISA\nOver the last 75 years these institutions have served the needs of manufacturing and engineering by providing training\, research\, practice development\, communication and networking to drive efficiency and safety. \nPlease join us as we build on collaboration into the future! \nRegister For The Event Here! \n

SUMMARY:Common Fire and Gas Detector Design Guidelines
DESCRIPTION:The ISA Houston Section September Program Meeting will be held at TechnipFMC \nWhat We Will Cover \nCommon Fire and Gas Detector Guidelines \nHistorically\, fire and gas detector placement has been performed by experienced engineers using rules of thumb and expert judgement. Over the past few years\, detector placement has evolved into more of a quantitative science\, and less of an art. Experience with quantitative design techniques and advanced modeling has demonstrated that some of the historical rules of thumb actually result in very poor choices for detector locations. Modern fire and gas mapping and dispersion modeling allows for a much better understanding of the nature of gas clouds and fires that result from accidental loss of containment. All of the transport mechanisms\, including momentum effects and impingement on process equipment\, are included in these modern techniques. This discussion will include listing of some common rules of thumb for placing detectors and then explores those designs with modern modeling techniques to demonstrate the lack of accuracy in the design and explains why the rules of thumb got it wrong. \n \n(Speaker: James McGlone\, GICSP\, Chief Marketing Officer ) \nSpeaker Biography \nMr. McGlone is the Chief Marketing Officer of Kenexis. He has over 30 years of experience in the design\, development\, sales and life cycle management of industrial automation\, industrial software\, critical control systems\, measurement systems\, communications systems\, and networked embedded controllers. Jim has worked for major vendors to bring industrial and commercial products to market to solve automation and control challenges globally. \nMr. McGlone began his professional career as a production supervisor where he managed a printed circuit board manufacturing department and redesigning the department’s electromechanical systems\, measurement equipment\, workflow\, and processes to increase productivity and accuracy. \nMr. McGlone served as a multistate regional manager providing technical sales and support for industrial automation software. He became the global business development manager for Rockwell Automation’s software business and provided sales and support to Rockwell Automation’s largest global customers. Mr. McGlone developed a business to provide robust sustainability to industrial control systems and improved security. \nAs vice president sales and operations of Tridium\, a Honeywell subsidiary\, Mr. McGlone developed a technology-inside strategy focused on minimizing cost to serve to grow the business while optimizing logistics worldwide. As the acting general manager of the Asia Pacific business\, he developed the market in China\, Singapore\, Australia\, and South Korea.\nMr. McGlone has successfully managed industrial cybersecurity projects in the food\, oil & gas\, power generation\, and water industries as a Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional (GICSP) \nTicket Prices ($20.00 Member with RSVP and Non-Member $30.00) \n(Parking Info) \nAttendees should park on the first floor of the garage in visitor parking then proceed to the TechnipFMC reception desk on the first floor of the building (Energy Tower II ET2) for a name tag. Please wait to be escorted to the meeting room.

SUMMARY:Industrial Cybersecurity: If it isn’t SECURE\, it isn’t SAFE
DESCRIPTION:Process hazard assessments (PHA) are a well-established practice in process safety management.  These assessments focus on failures (aka deviations) that are typically caused by equipment failures or human error.  By design\, PHAs do not consider cyber threats to industrial control systems (ICS).  However\, cyber threats represent additional failure modes that may lead to the same health\, safety and environmental consequences identified in the PHA.  Functional safety (i.e. ISA 84 / IEC 61511) and industrial cybersecurity standards (i.e. ISA/IEC 62443) recognize this issue and provide guidance on how to integrate these two disciplines to ensure that cyber incidents cannot impact process safety.  This presentation will discuss the guidance provided in industry standards regarding ICS cyber risk assessments (aka Cyber PHA) and the benefits and business justification for performing them. \nMarco Ayala\nProcess hazard assessments (PHA) are a well-established practice in process safety management.  These assessments focus on failures (aka deviations) that are typically caused by equipment failures or human error.  By design\, PHAs do not consider cyber threats to industrial control systems (ICS).  However\, cyber threats represent additional failure modes that may lead to the same health\, safety and environmental consequences identified in the PHA.  Functional safety (i.e. ISA 84 / IEC 61511) and industrial cybersecurity standards (i.e. ISA/IEC 62443) recognize this issue and provide guidance on how to integrate these two disciplines to ensure that cyber incidents cannot impact process safety.  This presentation will discuss the guidance provided in industry standards regarding ICS cyber risk assessments (aka Cyber PHA) and the benefits and business justification for performing them.

SUMMARY:IC33 – Assessing the Cybersecurity of New or Existing IACS Systems
DESCRIPTION:The first phase in the IACS Cybersecurity Lifecycle (defined in ISA 62443-1-1) is to identify and document IACS assets and perform a cybersecurity vulnerability and risk assessment in order to identify and understand the high-risk vulnerabilities that require mitigation. Per ISA 62443-2-1\, these assessments need to be performed on both new (i.e. greenfield) and existing (i.e. brownfield) applications. Part of the assessment process involves developing a zone and conduit model of the system\, identifying security level targets\, and documenting the cybersecurity requirements into a cybersecurity requirements specification (CRS). \nThis course will provide students with the information and skills to assess the cybersecurity of a new or existing IACS and to develop a CRS that can be used to document the cybersecurity requirements for a project. \nYou will be able to:\n\nIdentify and document the scope of the IACS under assessment\nSpecify\,gather\, or generate the cybersecurity information required to perform the assessment\nIdentify or discover cybersecurity vulnerabilities inherent in the IACS’ products or system design\nOrganize and facilitate a cybersecurity risk assessment for an IACS\nIdentify and evaluate realistic threat scenarios\nIdentify gaps in existing policies\, procedures\, and standards\nEstablish and document security zones and conduits\nDevelop a cybersecurity requirements specification (CRS)\n\nTo register: \nhttps://www.isa.org/events-conferences/events-calendar/event-details/?productId=63250535
