The article says ISA’s 2025 annual report presents the organization as growing steadily and becoming more influential in automation and industrial cybersecurity. It highlights a fourth straight year of revenue and membership growth, with membership up nearly 7% in 2025, revenue reaching about $21 million, and continued expansion in training, events, and global engagement. A big theme is easier access to knowledge: ISA says its AI assistant, Mimo, answered nearly 10,000 questions during the year, showing strong demand for quick, practical help on automation and cybersecurity topics.
The report also emphasizes ISA’s growing role in industrial cyber skills and standards. It says ISA trained more than 15,000 professionals in 2025, with many of the most popular courses focused on ISA/IEC 62443 and industrial control system security. The article also points to strong demand for ISA’s cybersecurity credentials, continued expansion of its standards portfolio, and new work from the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance and ICS4ICS to improve OT cyber awareness, incident response readiness, and standards alignment. In simple terms, the message is that ISA sees rising global demand not just for automation expertise in general, but especially for structured OT cybersecurity knowledge, training, and certification.
