What we’re about
Welcome! This meetup is dedicated to all professionals involved in Cyber Security for Automated Processes and Control Systems including security for Operating Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA Systems, Transportation Systems, Building Control Systems (BCS), and even emerging Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems. Our purpose is to connect the professionals in the Greater Pittsburgh area with real interest in or responsibility for the cyber security of these systems.
We have enough people registered to start getting ready to hold meetings, but we still need some volunteers to help with planning, organizing and running events. If you would like to take part in growing this group, please send a note to our group organizer.
When we have a few more leaders we will gather for purposes of education, information exchange, and discovery of new opportunities and happy hours!

ICS Village has partnered with several public and private entities to develop a new Workforce Development program called CIISAp. CIISAp will link rigorous academic classes and educational training with real-world job rotations at leading industrial companies to help students identify and prevent cyber vulnerabilities and attacks on industrial control systems and operational technologies (OT), physical assets linked to information technology (IT) networks, and platforms run on the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). Members of the consortium will discuss the design and launch of an apprenticeship program that links rigorous academic classes and educational training with real-world job rotations at leading industrial companies.
