IXON complies with IEC 62443 standards for cyber security

IXON works alongside machine builders to guarantee the security of their IT/OT technologies. The Dutch company, which provides remote services and IIoT solutions for machine builders and system integrators, has obtained certification to the IEC 62443 security standard through collaboration with Applied Risk, a recognised partner in the field of cyber security.

In complying with these standards, IXON aims to provide customers with valuable support in completing certification and in building systems and machinery with the highest levels of security.

“Our products and services meet the requirements of the IEC 62443 standards, which means we have all knowledge in-house to support our customers in designing, building and delivering their machines to the latest security standards, together with cyber security partners such as Applied Risk,” commented Willem Hofmans, CEO at IXON.

The IEC 62443 family consists of 14 standards divided into 4 categories. IXON complies with both IEC 62443-4-1 and IEC 62443-4-2 standards, which contain the technical guidelines for developing secure industrial components and products and are aimed at manufacturers of industrial devices.

Compliance with these standards ensures that IXON’s components are secure, thereby contributing to the part of IEC 62443 that machine builders consider most important, namely IEC 62443-3-3. This section of the standard ensures that an entire system or machine is secure in terms of cyber security.
