ORing's Cyber-Hardened Ethernet Switches Secure IEC 62443-4-2 Certification

ORing, a global leader in industrial networking solutions, proudly announces that its Cyber-Hardened Ethernet Switch series, including models IGPS-9084GP-LA-24V, IGPS-9084GP-LA, and IGS-9084GP-LA, has achieved IEC 62443-4-2 certification. This milestone underscores ORing's commitment to delivering secure networking solutions for industrial applications.

IEC 62443-4-2 is a critical standard for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS), setting stringent security requirements to ensure industrial networking devices are resilient against cyber threats. The increasing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure emphasize the importance of this certification. In 2023, Vedere Research Labs reported that global critical infrastructure was targeted nearly every 13 seconds, highlighting the need for robust security measures like those provided by IEC 62443-4-2.

This certification confirms that ORing’s products meet the highest security standards, essential for protecting industrial networks from vulnerabilities. Developed according to IEC 62443-4-1 and fully compliant with IEC 62443-4-2, these Cyber-Hardened Ethernet switches provide enhanced security and regulatory compliance, reducing the risk of cyber incidents in critical sectors such as power generation, transportation, and manufacturing. Their slim design supports flexible deployment in space-constrained environments without compromising security.

“We are proud that our Cyber-Hardened Ethernet switches have achieved IEC 62443-4-2 certification,” said Bruce Chang, Vice General Manager of Industrial Ethernet Switch Division at ORing. “Customers can now deploy our switches with greater confidence, knowing they provide protection against various cyber threats. We will continue to expand our certified product range to offer comprehensive security across our industrial networking solutions.”

ORing is also in the process of certifying its power substation and rackmount models, further expanding its portfolio of secure networking solutions. This ongoing effort demonstrates ORing’s leadership in addressing the evolving cybersecurity needs of its customers, ensuring that industrial networks are protected against emerging threats.
