About Control Signal

Built for engineers who can't afford to fall behind.

Cybersecurity threats, safety standards changes, and automation developments — pulled together daily for controls and automation engineers across every industrial sector.

Why it exists

The threats are published. They just don't reach you.

Engineering moves fast. Standards get updated. Vendors patch critical vulnerabilities. New automation technology ships. And it all happens in the background while you're focused on keeping systems running.

Most of it never reaches the engineers it affects. A vendor patches a PLC you run, CISA flags a protocol you rely on, a standard you work to changes — and unless you already knew where to look, you'd never hear about it. The hard part isn't finding time to read. It's knowing what exists, and whether it applies to you.

Control Signal closes that gap. One brief, every morning, telling you what's out there across OT cybersecurity, safety standards and industrial automation — and what it means for your systems.

What's covered

Three pillars. Every day.

OT Cybersecurity
CVEs, vendor advisories, CISA guidance, and active threats relevant to industrial control systems. Every top story includes a plain-English “why it matters to you” so you know what to act on.
Safety Standards
Changes across IEC 61511, IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and ISA standards flagged the day they happen. Never get caught out by an update you missed.
Automation & Industry News
Product releases, protocol developments, and industry moves from across the sector — filtered for what's relevant to engineers, not executives.

Who it's for

If you're responsible for systems that can't fail, this is for you.

Control Signal is built for controls engineers, automation engineers, and OT professionals working across industrial sectors — oil and gas, water and wastewater, power and utilities, manufacturing, chemicals and pharma, and transport.

Whether you're managing a SCADA system, maintaining a safety instrumented system, or responsible for a growing OT attack surface — the brief makes sure you hear about what affects it.
