Welcome to the ISA Toronto Section Website:
The Toronto Section is here to serve the members of the International Society of Automation (ISA). Our goal is to provide the local members of the GTA and surrounding areas with the means to stay connected with current trends in the automation technology industries and provide the venue whereby they can meet and network with other professionals in the community.
Dear Toronto ISA Members and Associates
With COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions for meetings and event facilities in place, your Toronto ISA Executive Committee is again seeking your thoughts on how to continue with our traditional last Thursday of the Month meeting format that focuses on staying connected with members of the Automation Technology and Instrumentation Industries. We will continue to host our monthly meetings through ZOOM videoconferences and webinars.
The ISA Toronto Section monthly ZOOM meetings is scheduled for April 29th at 7:00 to 7:45pm.
Topic: Cyber security for SMBs and Third-Party Risk Management
Today’s business operations rely on information flows with partners and supply chains at unprecedented levels. The risk of cyber security compromise has increased proportionately and can no longer be managed solely by yourself or internal IT Department.
This talk presents a broadly scoped approach to Third-Party Cyber Risk Management for SMBs who mistakenly believe that they are too small to be a target for hackers and how to deal with supplier security requirements, monitoring tools and best practices and as we adapt to the new norm of working from home.
Guest speakers;
Tracy Fox is a cybersecurity consultant specializing in reducing cyber risk for organizations with resources for ongoing testing, compliance requirements, threat detection and response.
Phil Salemi is a Waterloo Systems’ Principal Consultant for IT Security Governance, Risk and Compliance at the Bank of Canada (Canada’s Central Bank)
