Moxa achieves IEC 62443-4-2 certification for industrial secure routers

Moxa has announced that it has achieved the world’s first IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 (SL2) certification for industrial secure routers. The certification was awarded to Moxa’s flagship industrial secure routers, the EDR-G9010 and TN-4900 Series by global certification body Bureau Veritas (BV).

“We are delighted to extend our congratulations to the Moxa industrial router team for their successful attainment of IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 certification for their TN-4900 and EDR-G9010 Series industrial secure routers as the world’s pioneering IEC 62443-4-2 SL2 certified secure industrial routers available in the market,” said Pascal Le-Ray, general manager of Bureau Veritas CPS Technology Products Taiwan. “This certification stands as Moxa’s resolute commitment to security and their distinguished position in the industrial networking market.”

“Amid escalating cyberthreats targeting industrial networks, we truly showed that security is part of the DNA of Moxa’s product and solution portfolios,” said Samuel Chiu, chairman of Moxa’s Cybersecurity Steering Committee. “We uphold network integrity and stay at the forefront of network security by consistently putting our products through validation processes, closely following the most updated security protocols to guarantee reliable industrial-grade solutions.”

The EDR-G9010 Series and TN-4900 Series employ the Moxa Router Operating System (MX-ROS), a software platform for industrial security routers and firewalls. The latest version, MX-ROS 3.0, is said to provide robust security protection and user-friendly operational procedures due to simplified web and CLI interfaces. It also offers a range of cross-industry operational technology (OT) network management features.

With security-hardened functions based on the IEC 62443-4-2 cybersecurity standard, the EDR-G9010 and TN-4900 Series offer advanced security features, such as an intrusion prevention system (IPS), an intrusion detection system (IDS) and deep packet inspection (DPI), to ensure a high level of industrial network security.
