Obtaining the IEC 62443-4-1 certification is not only a positive response to the growing number of customers who request international standard compliance for their equipment, but also a commitment to supply reliable quality products.

Yet in the age of Industry 4.0 and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), cybersecurity is definitely not an area to be overlooked—investment in this area is both necessary and worthwhile.
