The International Electrotechnical Commission Designates ISA/IEC 62443 as a Horizontal Standard
國際電工委員會指定ISA/IEC 62443為橫向標準

The International Society of Automation (ISA) and the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (ISAGCA) are proud to announce that the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has officially designated the IEC/ISA 62443 series of standards as “horizontal,” meaning that they are proven to be applicable to a wide range of different industries.

國際自動化學會（ISA）和國際自動化學會全球網絡安全聯盟（ISAGCA）自豪地宣布，國際電工委員會（IEC）已正式指定IEC/ISA 62443系列標準為 "橫向"，這意味著它們被證明適用于廣泛的不同行業。

According to the IEC decision, “The IEC Technical Committee 65 (TC 65) publishes IEC 62443 for operational technology found in industrial and critical infrastructure, including but not restricted to power utilities, water management systems, healthcare, and transport systems. These horizontal standards, also known as base standards, are technology independent. They can be applied across many technical areas.”

根據IEC的決定，"IEC技術委員會65（TC 65）發布了IEC 62443，用于工業和包括但不限于電力設施、水管理系統、醫療保健和運輸系統等關鍵基礎設施中的操作技術。這些橫向標準，也被稱為基礎標準，是獨立的技術。它們可以應用于許多技術領域。"

The ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards is the world’s only consensus-based cybersecurity standard for automation and control system applications. These standards codify hundreds of years of operational technology and IoT cybersecurity subject matter expertise. Using the ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards as a foundation, companies can focus on adopting security as part of the operations lifecycle, ensuring compliance with various aspects of the standards across their supply chains, and including cybersecurity in operational risk-management profiles.

ISA/IEC 62443系列標準是世界上唯一基于共識的自動化和控制系統應用的網絡安全標準。這些標準編纂了數百年的操作技術和物聯網網絡安全主題知識。以ISA/IEC 62443系列標準為基礎，企業可以專注于將安全作為運營生命周期的一部分，確保整個供應鏈符合標準的各個方面，并將網絡安全納入運營風險管理概況。

The designation of the ISA/IEC 62443 series as a horizontal standard will have many benefits to stakeholders:
將ISA/IEC 62443系列指定為橫向標準將給利益相關者帶來諸多好處：

• Asset owners who have a presence in or exposure to more than one sector will be able to align their cybersecurity programs, leveraging ISA/IEC 62443 as the one single source for the fundamental principles and requirements of automation cybersecurity
• Automation system suppliers will be able to certify their products for a broader range of applications, using a common set of conformance specifications based on 62443
• IEC TC 65 WG 10 and the ISA99 committee will be able to focus their efforts on collaboration and advancement of the series of standards, especially around current demands in areas such as IIoT, sensor-level security, and supply chain risks
• The ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (ISAGCA) and its 50+ member companies will partner with asset owners and suppliers to build relevant, applications-focused materials to enable companies in different sectors around the world to adopt and implement the series of standards at scale

• 在一個以上部門有業務的資產所有者將能夠調整他們的網絡安全計劃，利用ISA/IEC 62443作為自動化網絡安全的基本原則和要求的唯一來源
• 自動化系統供應商將能夠使用基于62443的一套共同的符合性規范對其產品進行更廣泛的應用認證
• IEC TC 65 WG10和ISA99委員會將能夠集中精力合作和推進該系列標準，特別是圍繞當前的需求，如工業物聯網、傳感器級安全和供應鏈風險等領域
• 國際自動化學會全球網絡安全聯盟及其50多家成員公司將與資產所有者和供應商合作，建立相關的、以應用為重點的材料，使世界各地不同行業的公司能夠大規模地采用和實施該系列標準
