Moxa supports the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) and the OpenChain Project under the Linux Foundation® to show its commitment to reliable and secure industrial applications. The company also sponsors the Debian Long Term Support (LTS) initiative and extends this effort through Moxa Industrial Linux (MIL), a hardened, Debian-based operating system for long-term industrial stability and dependable support that lasts for decades.

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 for industrial network infrastructure and long-term reliability. MIL ensures long-term stability and minimizes on the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) for frequent system upgrades. It simplifies deployment, enhances system reliability, and delivers consistent performance with integrated Moxa utilities for wireless connectivity, I/O integration, and asset security across industrial environments.

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.
