As part of the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) and the OpenChain Project under The Linux Foundation®, Moxa is working to help secure long-term commitments to associations with industrial applications. Moxa is a Linux Debian sponsor of the Debian Long Term Support (LTS) initiative, and they build on this mission with Moxa Industrial Linux (MIL)—a hardened Debian-based operating system with the goal of industrial stability and decades of trusted support.

MIL offers 10 years of OS maintenance and continuous patching so that enterprises can operate securely and efficiently in critical industries. MIL provides the world’s first IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 certified industrial computer assessing operational resilience, while enabling development time reduction. MIL is built from Debian and the standard Linux kernel while utilizing Moxa utilities when working with system management, network management, and I/O operation in order to provide productivity benefits to industrial based enterprises.

Reliable, Secure, and Developer-friendly Industrial Linux

Reliability

• Crash-free filesystem prevents data loss and supports industrial-grade stability
• Built-in failover filesystem ensures uninterrupted operation during failures
• Network keep-alive with automatic failover maximizes uptime

Security

• IEC 62443-4-2 compliance saves developers more than 6 months of security validation work*
• Hardware-based Root-of-Trust with Secure Boot protects devices from unauthorized access
• 10-year lifecycle support reduces long-term vulnerability management costs

* See MIL-certified product documentation for details

Easy Development

• Debian Foundation simplifies migration from Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi platforms
• Embedded utilities streamline system, interface, and network tasks
• GUI tools make failover and provisioning straightforward for engineers

The Foundation of Industrial Stability

Moxa Industrial Linux (MIL) is an open-source operating system designed specifically for industrial networks that are mission-critical. MIL utilizes the long-term stability of the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) to reduce the frequency of upgrades. With the reliability built-in utilities for wireless connectivity, I/O integration, and asset security, MIL reduces deployment time and increases reliability for the system.

Moxa System Manager (MSM)

MSM enables full-system snapshots along with backup and restore functionality to support rapid recovery after system failures. It also supports system failover during bootup, factory reset, and decommissioning processes—enhancing system availability and ensuring effective lifecycle management.

×

Moxa Connection Manager (MCM)

MCM features an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring and prioritizing Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and cellular network profiles. It ensures continuous connectivity with built-in failover and failback mechanisms—even in the event of cyberattacks. With support for connection diagnostics, MCM is well-suited for applications that demand reliable network switching and robust multi-channel connectivity.

×

Moxa Computer Interface Manager (MCIM)

MCIM streamlines system integration through a unified interface for managing diverse I/O hardware and non-standard components—including DI/DO, buttons, disks, buzzers, and RS-232/422/485 mode switching. With built-in CLI support, MCIM removes the need to tailor control logic for different SoC platforms, minimizing complexity and accelerating application development.

Moxa Software Updater (MSU)

MSU allows you to keep Moxa Industrial Linux up to date with the latest security patches, including resolutions for known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). It supports both online and offline update methods and features an auto-recovery mechanism to ensure a reliable and secure update process—even in the event of a failure.

×

Moxa Guardian

Moxa Guardian provides security diagnostics to assess device compliance with IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 requirements. It analyzes current system settings against a recommended secure baseline, detects deviations, and offers actionable recommendations—including a one-click remediation option—to help maintain both compliance and strong security posture.

×

Secure Boot

Secure Boot executes a chain-of-trust validation beginning with the SoC’s OTP fuse verification of the bootloader, which subsequently authenticates the Linux kernel. The kernel then verifies system footprints via TPM. Only when these footprints align with Moxa’s factory-set policy does the TPM release the LUKS key to decrypt the root filesystem.

Why Choose MIL

Reliable Network Connectivity

The Moxa Connection Manager keeps devices online with automatic failover and failback across Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and cellular.

Long-term Support

MIL ensures 10 years of kernel stability, CVE patching, and OS-level security updates to extend system lifespans.

Cost Efficiency

Long-term support reduces operating costs by up to $150,000 annually and accelerates compliance by over 6 months.

Industrial-grade Security

MIL follows IEC 62443-4-1 certified lifecycle procedures, ensuring hardened security across OT networks.

Faster Development

Debian compatibility supports quick application migration and smooth integration with existing workflows.

Enterprise-grade Services

Moxa supports integration and security with expert FAE assistance and rapid PSIRT incident response.
