Power management company Eaton announced that it has become the first company to have its product development processes cybersecurity-certified by both IEC and UL.
The certifications underscore Eaton’s leadership in providing customers with confidence that its connected solutions comply with proven industry standards and guidelines, a release from Eaton said.
Both IEC 62443-4-1 and UL 2900-1 validated that Eaton processes used to develop products and solutions are in compliance with industry standards.
“At Eaton, we consider cybersecurity to be a foundational building block that is critical to the design, deployment and operation of digital solutions in the industrial world,” said Michael Regelski, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Electrical Sector at Eaton. “Our industry-first IEC and UL endorsements mean that our customers can be confident that products and solutions they buy from us meet the same level of standards recommended by two key standard organizations across the globe.”
“Our customers in India are offered Eaton products which conform to both IEC and UL standards,” confirmed Syed Sajjadh Ali, MD Eaton Electrical business India. “All our UPS range and the SNMP solutions are developed under Eaton’s secure-by-design process, which is now certified by both UL and IEC. Our LV Switchgear and control gear solutions are also developed under this process, and by simply attaching communication-capable devices, they can be part of your Eliot network,” Syed added.
Analysts estimate that nearly $950 billion will be spent on the deployment of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions globally by 2025. As organizations expand their digital footprint, it becomes imperative to protect the availability, integrity and confidentiality of their systems, the release said.
