SecureEdge gateways officially IEC 62443-4-2 certified: what does this mean for machine builders?

Industrial cybersecurity standards are increasingly vital for machine builders and operators. IXON's SecureEdge gateways achieved official IEC 6244342 certification, a globally recognised benchmark for securing individual industrial components.

SecureEdge gateways officially IEC 62443-4-2 certified: what does this mean for machine builders?

The certification ensures the device meets strict requirements for encryption, access control, and operational robustness. With growing customer demands for compliance under regulations such as NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act, using certified components simplifies proving the security of entire machine systems.

The SecureEdge gateways include advanced features such as role-based access, audit logging, DoS protection, and selective functional controls. Security is embedded into both the design and development process, reinforced through internal audits and continuous improvement. For industrial operators, this certification represents peace of mind: they can trust that devices integrate into their networks securely, supporting both operational reliability and regulatory compliance in an increasingly cyber-conscious industry.
