Moxa announced that its EDR-G9010 and EDR-8010 series industrial routers have earned DNV cybersecurity type approval with Security Profile 2 (SP2)—a new cybersecurity type approval for network and communication components. This certification demonstrates that these routers comply with the newly released International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61162-460 Edition 3.0 standard, meeting the cybersecurity standards required for the marine industry and mission-critical maritime applications.
The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) Unified Requirements (UR) E26/E27 for cybersecurity became mandatory for all classed ships contracted for construction as of July 1, 2024. DNV cybersecurity type approvals provide simplifies the UR E26/E27 compliance process.
DNV’s cybersecurity type approvals are grounded in internationally recognized standards, including IEC 62443 for industrial automation and control system security, and IEC 61162-460 for maritime navigation and communication systems.
With an IEC 62443-4-1 certified secure development life cycle and IEC 62443-4-2 product certifications, Moxa provides industrial networking products with layered defense-in-depth protection, which includes security-hardened devices that implement OT network segmentation with threat prevention, tailored OT deep packet inspection (DPI) and industrial intrusion prevention systems (IPS). This approach enhances and secures communication between the vessel, the shore and the cloud.
“Security is part of Moxa’s product and solution DNA. This certification is a significant milestone that shows Moxa’s commitment to providing secure solutions with network integrity for maritime safety, security, and operational performance,” said Samuel Chiu, head of the transportation business group at Moxa. “Covering both IT and OT systems on ships, compliance with these standards ensure that Moxa is at the forefront of maritime cybersecurity to empower network and communication security. By consistently putting our products through validation processes and closely following the most updated security protocols, we can guarantee reliable industrial-grade solutions for our customers.”
