What's Happening?
Microchip Technology has been certified by UL Solutions to the IEC 62443-4-1 Maturity Level 2 (ML2) standard, which is a globally recognized benchmark for secure development processes in industrial automation and control systems. This certification confirms
that Microchip's product development processes incorporate rigorous security measures from design through end-of-life. The certification is expected to simplify cybersecurity evaluations for customers, reduce supply-chain risks, and prepare for emerging regulatory requirements like the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
Why It's Important?
Achieving this certification underscores Microchip Technology's commitment to cybersecurity, which is increasingly critical as connected systems proliferate across various sectors. This certification not only enhances customer trust but also positions Microchip as a leader in secure product development. As regulatory requirements around cybersecurity become more stringent, having a certified secure development lifecycle can provide a competitive advantage. This development is particularly relevant for industries reliant on secure automation and control systems, as it ensures that products meet high security standards, thereby protecting critical infrastructure from cyber threats.
