ISA's Top Blog Posts of 2024 (So Far)

It's been a great year so far for the International Society of Automation (ISA). ISA members from around the world celebrated the third annual International Automation Professionals Day, cementing the idea that automation depends on people. Our organization also hosted the OT Cybersecurity Summit, more than doubling attendance in the conference's second year.

On the ISA Interchange blog, we've kept you updated on these events as well as a wide range of other topics related to industrial automation. As we look ahead to the next few months and make plans for the rest of the year, we're reviewing the posts in which you—our ISA Interchange blog readers—have expressed the most interest. 

We thought it might be intriguing to share some insights we've found from that deep dive, including the top blog posts published so far in 2024. We're always looking to bring you articles on topics you find helpful, so if you have any suggestions, we welcome your comments. We would also like to invite you to contribute your own articles to the blog. We're always looking for submissions.
