The furor over the Siemens vulnerabilities and the fear that Son-of-Stuxnet could be around the corner has raised awareness of the need for cyber security to be taken seriously by the process and critical infrastructure industries.

Last week the International Society of Automation (ISA) announced that a new committee, ISA99 WG5 TG2, has been struck to conduct a gap analysis of the current ANSI/ISA-99 standards with respect to Stuxnet. The goal is to determine if companies following the standards would have been protected from advanced persistent threats (APTs) such as Stuxnet. If not, then the committee will identify what changes are needed.
I have been asked to Chair the committee and I am writing today to let you know about its work, to explain why it is important, and to ask for your participation.
