Working group

As Industrial Control Systems (ICS) advance to the Internet of Things, ICS is connecting to the cloud, and the risk of cyber-attacks is increasing more than ever before. Noteworthy advanced cyber-attacks have occurred in recent years. On the other hand, asset owners understand cyber risks to connect ICS to external networks including cloud, but there are challenges to mitigate cyber risks due to system specifications differences between information systems and ICS. The ICS Security Working Group (WG) aims to develop security guidance to encourage asset owners and device manufacturers worldwide towards adopting best practices to secure ICS.

Standardization in the field of Sustainable Cities and Communities will include the development of requirements, frameworks, guidance and supporting techniques and tools related to the achievement of sustainable development considering smartness and resilience, to help all Cities and Communities and their interested parties in both rural and urban areas become more sustainable.

Note: TC 268 will contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals through its standardization work.

The proposed series of International Standards will encourage the development and implementation of holistic and integrated approaches to sustainable development and sustainability.

The OASIS AMQP TC advances a vendor-neutral and platform-agnostic protocol that offers organizations an easier, more secure approach to passing real-time data streams and business transactions. The goal of AMQP is to ensure information is safely and efficiently transported between applications, among organizations, across distributed cloud computing environments, and within mobile infrastructures. AMQP avoids proprietary technologies, offering the potential to lower the cost of enterprise middleware software integrations through open interoperability. By enabling a commoditized, multi-vendor ecosystem, AMQP seeks to create opportunities for transforming the way business is done in the Cloud and over the Internet.
