A Strategic Breakthrough for the Cybersecurity of Critical Systems
One year ago, LEROY Automation obtained the IEC 62443-4-1 certification, a global cybersecurity standard for the secure development of industrial products. This certification, crucial for the defense sector, ensures that the company’s controllers and equipment are designed with robust security mechanisms from the outset.
In a world where cyberattacks targeting critical military systems—such as communication networks, command and control (C2) systems, radar systems, tactical communication shelters, and mobile command posts—are becoming more frequent and sophisticated, this certification addresses the urgent need for cyber resilience. The threats are persistent, often state-sponsored, and aim to infiltrate or disrupt sensitive infrastructure.
A Rigorous Regulatory Framework for Defense
The IEC 62443 certification imposes strict requirements throughout the entire hardware and software development lifecycle:
Definition of cybersecurity requirements during the architecture phase
Ongoing vulnerability analysis
Implementation of proven countermeasures (encryption, OS hardening)
Robustness testing against attack scenarios
Traceability, incident reporting, and remediation
Thanks to this framework, LEROY Automation delivers hardened, reliable solutions that meet the demands of defense and security integrators and industry stakeholders.
Contributing to Digital Sovereignty
This approach goes beyond compliance. It aligns with a broader strategy of European digital sovereignty, where industrial cybersecurity is a key pillar of national resilience.Strong Guarantees for Defense Partners
The IEC 62443 certification is now a hallmark of reliability in the development of embedded electronic and software systems. It assures integrators, operators, and armed forces that LEROY Automation’s equipment is engineered to withstand the most advanced cyber threats, in full compliance with international standards.
