InHand Networks’ Industrial Routers and IoT Edge Gateways Achieve IEC62443-4-2 Certification
August, 2024 – InHand Networks, a leading provider of IoT solutions and industrial connectivity, proudly announces that its IR302 and IR315 industrial routers, IG502 and IG902 IoT edge gateways and EC312 edge computer have achieved the prestigious IEC62443-4-2 Security Level 2 (SL2) certification. This certification underscores InHand Networks’ dedication to providing secure and reliable IoT solutions for industrial applications.
What is IEC62443-4-2 Certification?
IEC62443 is a series of standards that address cybersecurity for operational technology in automation and control systems. Set by the IEC System for Conformity Assessment Schemes for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components (IECEE), it is the most widely recognized and challenging-to-achieve security standard in industrial automation and control systems. The series is divided into different sections and describes both technical and process-related aspects of automation and control systems cybersecurity.
IEC62443-4-2 is the part of IEC62443 that defines technical requirements for products or components. Achieving this certification confirms that the IR302 industrial LTE router, the IG502 and IG902 IoT edge gateways meet the rigorous security requirements for industrial control systems, including robust protection against cyber threats, secure communication, and secure software and firmware updates.
Why IEC62443-4-2 Matters
In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, cybersecurity is more critical than ever. With increasing connectivity and the proliferation of IoT devices, the potential for cyber-attacks has grown exponentially. The IEC62443-4-2 certification ensures that InHand Networks’ products provide the necessary safeguards to protect critical infrastructure and industrial networks from vulnerabilities and unauthorized access.
