Moxa's UC-8200 Series of Arm-based computers, the first global host device to be IEC 62443-4-2 certified, is now available on the market. These Arm Cortex-A7 dual-core 1 GHz IIoT gateways' IEC 62443-4-2 certification guarantees that they deliver a Linux platform that enables security and contains an array of secure-by-design software and hardware features to help protect IIoT data and infrastructure from cyber threats.

The ultra-thin UC-8200 Series, which uses the MIL3 platform, has received ISA/IEC 62443-4-2 certification, making it the first host device worldwide. This accomplishment is highly regarded, and the certification will hopefully help Moxa better comprehend concerns regarding security and product development quality, ultimately enhancing the competitiveness of the company. Many nations now mandate the IEC 62443 worldwide standards for industrial control and information security. Consequently, since the demand for product security continues to grow and customers increasingly expect manufacturers of Industrial IoT equipment to be able to provide proof of their security level, the importance of IEC 62443-4-2 has significantly risen.


Develop Applications Efficiently with a Security-certified platform

Previously tested and verified, these computers offer a secure platform that simplifies the integration of IIoT applications for asset owners and system integrators. In the absence of such a certified platform, asset owners and system integrators would need to spend a significant amount of time verifying and certifying the security of the computing platform and its components before integrating their applications. While this process can take a lot of time, it is vital to ensure the security of the IIoT system.

A security-hardening guide is included with each UC-8200 Series computer to help ensure the device’s security during its full lifecycle, from integration and installation to operation, maintenance, and decommissioning. Additionally, it has a security diagnostics tool that enables clients to verify that the UC-8200 Series computer maintains IEC 62443-4-2 compliance while undergoing integration.


Achieving Higher Operational Resilience

In order to develop the next generation of industrial IoT systems that are capable of protecting against cyber threats, it is essential to have improved security of networks, protection for endpoints, and a long lifecycle.


Hardware RoT [Root of Trust]

In order to provide a hardware-based chain of trust that protects the Secure Boot procedure and software updates, this series uses an OTP fuse and TPM 2.0 technology. By doing so, damaging updates cannot be utilized to exploit malware and hackers are prevented from achieving control of the device when it is booting up.


Guarantee the Quick Recovery

In industrial automation and control systems, device availability is crucial. (IACS). In order to address this, Moxa Industrial Linux 3 (MIL3) includes fast backup and restoration tools in addition to an automatic system recovery feature built on an overlay file system architecture. In the event of an intrusion into the system, a process failure, and file corruption, such as a power outage during an important update, this helps to minimize downtime.


Reliable Connectivity and Management of Networks

“Moxa Connect Manager” enhances LAN and WAN network availability and minimizes downtime caused by network unavailability or DOS attacks by seamlessly switching between Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and LTE connections.


The best long-term support available

Moxa takes pride in offering long-term support services for their customers' peace of mind. They understand the importance of ensuring their customers' systems remain functional and secure for an extended period, which is why they provide Debian-based distributions with 10-year life cycles. This service includes critical security patches, bug fixes, and access to the Moxa Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) for efficient cybersecurity management. By proactively identifying and addressing potential security risks, Moxa guarantees its products' longevity, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
