Navigating the Latest in SCADA Standards, Protocols, and Regulations with a Deep Dive into ISA-101

In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, ensuring secure, efficient, and interoperable Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems requires a firm grasp of current standards, emerging protocols, and regulatory expectations.

This expert panel will explore the latest developments in SCADA standards and protocols, unpack key regulatory changes, and highlight practical strategies for implementation. With a special focus on the ISA-101 Human-Machine Interface (HMI) standard, panelists will discuss how consistent and intuitive operator interfaces improve situational awareness, reduce human error, and support compliance efforts.

Join industry leaders as they share insights on aligning operational technology (OT) practices with best-in-class standards to enhance reliability, safety, and security across critical infrastructure sectors.

Key Discussion Areas:

• Overview of current SCADA standards and updates — what’s new and what’s next

• The role of ISA-101 in shaping HMI design and operator effectiveness• Emerging communication protocols and their impact on interoperability

• Regulatory trends affecting SCADA and OT environments• Real-world challenges and success stories in standards implementation

• Strategies for future-proofing SCADA systems against evolving threats and requirements
