Cybersecurity….“If an industrial control system or criticalinfrastructure is attacked, or even unintentionally compromised, the result could include regulatory violations, equipment damage, production loss, harm to the environment, and even public endangerment.” S. Huffman, Automation Federation
Sustainability….
Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Automation Competency Model, USDOLSlide23
