DeNexus Joins ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance to Facilitate Broad Adoption of OT Cybersecurity Standards

DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Society of Automation (ISA) — the leading professional society for automation — announced that DeNexus has officially joined the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (ISAGCA), demonstrating its commitment to advancing operational (OT) cybersecurity through the ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards.

Created by ISA, the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance is a collaborative forum focused on strengthening OT cybersecurity through education, knowledge sharing and industry collaboration. Leveraging the widely used ISA/IEC 62443 standards, ISAGCA works to expand cybersecurity expertise, openly share knowledge and resources and protect the OT cybersecurity worldwide community.

DeNexus delivers an evidence-based solution for OT industrial stakeholders to gain visibility into each facility's cyber exposure, calculate the probability and financial impact of potential cyber incidents and prioritize risk mitigation based on ROI or other KPIs. By joining ISAGCA, DeNexus underscores its commitment to supporting standards-driven security practices across the OT lifecycle from system design and integration to operations and maintenance.

DeNexus founder and CEO Jose M. Seara spoke at the ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit in Prague in June 2026, leading a session titled "OT Cyber Insurance and Risk Transfer: Right-Sizing Coverage Using Evidence, Not Guesswork." Based on interest, he also conducted an encore presentation on the topic via webinar in September. Through ISAGCA membership, DeNexus will collaborate with global industry leaders to accelerate awareness, adoption and implementation of the ISA/IEC 62443 standards framework.

"This is a significant moment for the ISAGCA community," said Michelle Ritterskamp, ISAGCA program coordinator. "DeNexus brings a deep OT technical experience and a desire to incorporate ISA/IEC 62443 into their business. ISAGCA staff would like to thank DeNexus for the excellent collaboration on programs already, and we look forward to further sharing DeNexus' expertise in future initiatives."

"Industrial cyber risk has been invisible to the people who carry it — boards, CFOs and the markets that could underwrite it," Seara said. "That's the problem I started DeNexus to solve, and it's the same problem ISA/IEC 62443 addresses from the standards side. A common standard for how OT security is designed and assessed is what makes risk assessable in the first place. And once risk can be assessed, it can be quantified, mitigated and transferred. That's the chain: ISA/IEC 62443 gives the industry a shared language for control, and our platform turns that control state into a financial number a board can govern by and an underwriter can price against. Joining ISAGCA puts us alongside the organizations building that foundation. Our mission is to make industrial cyber risk quantifiable for boards, investors and the risk transfer market — and standards are what make that possible at scale."
