According to this standard, certification is a vital part of the development and implementation phase and helps to eliminate potential vulnerabilities during the product's life cycle.

This certification is a cybersecurity standard within the industrial automation and control systems segment, a sector where D-Link has a broad portfolio of specific solutions for industrial and automation environments; Industrial Switches, 4G M2M Routers, power supplies, transceivers, gateways and access points.

Antonio Navarro, Country Manager of D-Link Iberia, commented, “Over the past year, we have seen a steady increase in cyberattacks. In fact, research published by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity reported that the number of cyberattacks continued to rise throughout 2020.” He added, “We have even seen attacks targeting the industrial sector, especially pharmaceuticals. Therefore, we have equipped our solutions for Industry 4.0, smart cities, and IoT environments with this certification, which is key to securing any installation against highly damaging cyberattacks.”

D-Link obtained IEC 62443-4-1 certification with the assistance of Onward Security, a leading cybersecurity consultant and D-Link partner. For more than five years, this company has supported D-Link in the product development and testing phases, adapting the implementation of IEC standards, as well as other security certifications received by the company's products.

D-Link will be holding a free webinar to present the latest additions to its Industrial Solutions range this Friday, February 19th at 10:30 AM.
