DeNexus Joined ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance
The firm has committed to supporting the ISA/IEC 62443 standard for securing industrial operational technology.
Updated on Sept. 28, 2026 in Cybersecurity
DeNexus has officially joined the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance to advance the adoption of standardized security practices across industrial sectors. This move aims to quantify operational technology risk through evidence-based financial metrics.
Why it matters
By integrating with the alliance, DeNexus seeks to bridge the gap between industrial control system security and the risk transfer market. Standardizing these metrics allows boards and underwriters to better assess exposure within complex operational environments.
The DeNexus platform functions by converting complex industrial control states into quantifiable financial metrics. This approach provides a standardized baseline for stakeholders to evaluate cyber risk compared to traditional, less granular methods of assessing industrial exposure.
The players
DeNexus
A cybersecurity firm that provides evidence-based platforms for managing cyber risk in industrial operational technology.
ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance
An international organization formed by the International Society of Automation to advance operational technology cybersecurity standards.
Jose M. Seara
The founder and CEO of DeNexus who manages the company's strategic alignment with global cybersecurity standards.
The details
DeNexus provides an evidence-based solution designed to help industrial stakeholders manage cyber exposure across their entire technology lifecycle. The platform operates by translating technical operational technology (OT) data—the hardware and software that monitor and control physical devices—into clear financial reports. This translation process enables boards of directors and insurance underwriters to evaluate security risk using the ISA/IEC 62443 standards framework, a series of international guidelines for securing industrial automation and control systems.
Timeline

September 2026: DeNexus conducted an encore presentation of its summit session via webinar.
The Tech Race
The alliance represents a broader industry shift toward normalizing cybersecurity benchmarks within the ISA/IEC 62443 framework. DeNexus is positioning itself to lead the quantification of these standards, effectively competing to define the primary risk-reporting language for the global industrial sector.
Industrial stakeholders can expect more consistent reporting metrics when evaluating their cybersecurity posture against global standards. This shift primarily affects risk managers and board members who require data-driven insights to make informed capital allocation and insurance decisions.
The takeaway
DeNexus is attempting to standardize industrial risk assessment by codifying technical control states into financial language. Watch for future initiatives and white papers from the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance to see how these metrics are adopted by the broader risk transfer market.
