CORK, Ireland  — Johnson Controls has announced its Global Secure Product Development Process has earned the International Society of Automation ISASecure^® Secure Development Lifecycle Assurance (SDLA) certification. This certification provides customers with assurance that Johnson Controls building technologies and solutions are developed in accordance with the internationally recognized ISA/IEC 62443-4-1 cybersecurity standard.
