IEC Certification
IEC 62443-4-1 is a standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for the cybersecurity of industrial automation and control systems.
It helps organisations ensure that industrial control systems are secure throughout their design, deployment and operation phases, safeguarding against risks such as cyber-attacks, data breaches and system failures while providing protection across the entire product lifecycle.
It provides a detailed framework that addresses key requirements of the cybersecurity regulations.
By implementing the practices and guidelines of IEC 62443-4-1, organisations can improve their safety posture and protect their industrial operations against cyber-threats.
