Palindrome Technologies Joins ISASecure to Enhance Industrial Cybersecurity Standards Globally

Palindrome Technologies Joins Forces with ISASecure

In an exciting development for industrial cybersecurity, Palindrome Technologies Inc. has officially joined the internationally recognized ISASecure program. This collaboration aims to strengthen adherence to the ISA/IEC 62443 standards, a series of guidelines designed to enhance the security of industrial automation and control systems.

Commitment to Cybersecurity

Established in 2005, Palindrome Technologies has made a name for itself as a leader in information security research and testing for cutting-edge technologies, including embedded systems and cloud platforms. The company’s background in security research and assurance testing equips it with the expertise necessary to aid ISASecure in its mission. Mark DeAngelo, ISASecure Program Manager, expressed enthusiasm over Palindrome's entry into the program, noting their substantial experience will prove invaluable in certifying and elevating the security of industrial systems globally.

Peter Thermos, the CEO of Palindrome Technologies, echoed this sentiment, stating, "We are excited to join the ISASecure community and contribute to the advancement of secure industrial systems around the world. Our deep expertise in testing and evaluating next-generation technologies directly aligns with ISASecure’s goals."

In-Depth Knowledge of Emerging Technologies

Palindrome’s commitment to cybersecurity is showcased through its focus on innovative sectors, including 5G, Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT), and more. Their familiarity with these fields makes them a perfect fit for the ISASecure program, as they work towards becoming an ISO/IEC 17065 accredited third-party certification body under the ISASecure scheme.

The firm is actively working towards achieving ISO 17011 accreditation, which will enable them to offer certification against ISASecure's Security Development Lifecycle Assurance (SDLA) and System Security Assurance (SSA) schemes. By doing so, they aim to ensure compliance with the highest standards pertaining to cybersecurity lifecycle and architectural safety. These certifications adhere to the ISA/IEC 62443-4-1 and ISA/IEC 62443-3-3 standards respectively, which are crucial for grounding industrial products and systems in robust cybersecurity measures.

Fostering Community Engagement

In a move to promote knowledge sharing and community involvement, Thermos will lead a webinar titled Securing Private 5G Networks in Manufacturing through Penetration Testing: A Case Study, scheduled for May 14, 2025. This event aims to share valuable insights and best practices related to securing modern industrial environments.

Palindrome Technologies' partnership with ISASecure heralds a significant step in advancing the cybersecurity framework of industrial automation. As industries increasingly integrate digital technologies into their infrastructures, securing these environments becomes imperative.

The merging of efforts between Palindrome and ISASecure not only strengthens the cybersecurity domain but also enhances confidence among businesses and stakeholders in the safety and reliability of industrial automation systems worldwide.
