Advantech proudly announces that its latest modular HMI systems – TPC-B520 and TPC-B300 – have received the prestigious IEC 62443-4-2 certification, marking a major milestone in secure industrial automation.

As industrial automation networks forge new paths based on IT technology (Ethernet protocols), production and cost efficiency will skyrocket—but potential security issues may increase, too. Although IT/OT convergence brings IT and OT networks together to streamline data exchange, remote access and connection to external networks, it also intensifies security risk exposure.

Industrial cybersecurity is a unique animal. It brings together safety principles from the OT environment and security principles from the IT environment to protect your plant’s assets (PLCs, equipment, etc.), as well as processes, networks and data. Without cybersecurity, industrial settings are vulnerable to cyber threats on a daily basis.

Many of our partners and customers are investing in themselves and their organizations by expanding their industry knowledge. Belden is here to help! We have gathered a list of industrial-focused webinars that are available on-demand for free.
