IEC 62443 Compliance Software from Netwrix

IEC 62443 Compliance Software from Netwrix

The IEC 62443 standard is a globally recognized framework developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to secure Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS). It defines requirements for securing industrial environments across multiple stakeholders, including asset owners, system integrators, and product suppliers. IEC 62443 compliance is critical for protecting critical infrastructure, reducing cyber risks, and ensuring safe and reliable industrial operations.

Organizations in energy, manufacturing, utilities, transportation, and other industries must address the standard’s requirements for risk management, access control, system hardening, monitoring, and incident response. Without IEC 62443 compliance software, ensuring alignment across complex OT/IT environments can be extremely challenging.
