en.Wedoany.com Reported - MiTAC Digital Technology Corporation (MDT, TWSE:7821) announced that it has obtained the international industrial cybersecurity certification IEC 62443-4-1, verified by TÜV NORD Taiwan. This certification confirms that MDT adheres to the global standard for secure product development lifecycle, demonstrating that the company embeds cybersecurity into its development processes to provide edge computing and industrial computer solutions to global customers.
As the Industrial Internet of Things and edge artificial intelligence continue to scale, the security of edge devices has become a key consideration for product quality and market competitiveness. Edge nodes process and transmit large volumes of critical data at the forefront of interconnected environments, making them prime targets for complex cyber threats. By implementing IEC 62443-4-1, MDT integrates the "security by design" concept into its product development framework, covering hardware engineering through software and firmware deployment, thereby enhancing product security, reliability, and resilience.
Steve Chang, President of MiTAC Digital Technology, stated that in the era of highly interconnected AIoT environments, robust cybersecurity is the cornerstone of product development. By combining the company's expertise in industrial hardware with the systematic security development practices of IEC 62443-4-1, MDT helps mitigate potential cybersecurity risks at the source, enabling global B2B partners to deploy edge computing infrastructure with greater confidence.
This certification also aligns MDT with increasingly stringent global regulations, particularly the upcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). This regulation requires digital products to implement full lifecycle security protocols and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. With the IEC 62443-4-1 framework, MDT can more effectively support international customers in meeting compliance standards, accelerating market access in highly regulated regions.
This certification expands MDT's compliance portfolio, which already includes ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 13485, GMP, the automotive industry-specific quality standard IATF 16949, and the vehicle cybersecurity standard ISO/SAE 21434. By integrating automotive-grade security with industrial-level cyber defense, MDT provides a multi-layered trust architecture. The company will continue to merge operational quality, functional safety, and cybersecurity to empower global enterprises in navigating digital transformation.
