Innodisk has announced that it has obtained the IEC 62443-4-1 certification, enhancing its security development lifecycle (SDL) for edge AI and industrial solutions.
This milestone underscores Innodisk’s commitment to delivering security assurance throughout its product lifecycle, aligning with international standards and upcoming regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
About the IEC 62443-4-1 Certification
The IEC 62443-4-1 standard is integral to safeguarding industrial control systems and critical infrastructure. Unlike tests that focus directly on products, this standard emphasizes the importance of effective and repeatable secure development processes.
Innodisk's certification covers its entire array of products, such as memory modules, flash storage, edge AI systems, and cloud management tools. Through standardized procedures, Innodisk ensures secure design, threat modeling, and vulnerability management, providing consistent protection across every product and lifecycle stage.
Cybersecurity and Regulatory Compliance
IEC 62443-4-1 embeds security across all development phasesThe EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) serves as a pivotal global standard for product cybersecurity, impacting IoT and edge devices significantly. This regulation demands that manufacturers maintain ongoing vulnerability management and security updates throughout the lifespan of their products.
The IEC 62443-4-1 SDL framework aligns with these requirements, emphasizing security across all development phases. By implementing this standard preemptively, Innodisk has reinforced its security practices, establishing a framework for secure firmware and software maintenance, thereby enhancing the credibility of its edge AI offerings.
AI Adoption's Impact on Cybersecurity
Yi Chuan Chen, Senior Manager of Quality Assurance at Innodisk, highlighted the collective challenge of cybersecurity across various sectors: “As AI adoption accelerates across manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and smart-city environments, the cybersecurity of edge devices has become a shared challenge across the global ecosystem.”
This certification positions Innodisk as a reliable supply chain partner, assisting customers in meeting international procurement standards and facilitating the modernization of AI infrastructure globally.
In the future, Innodisk plans to refine its secure development practices and collaborate closely with global partners to foster a trusted environment for the next wave of edge AI and industrial computing innovations.
Innodisk, a global entity in edge AI and industrial-grade storage solutions, announced that it has officially obtained IEC 62443-4-1 certification for its security development lifecycle (SDL).
This achievement reinforces Innodisk’s capability to deliver comprehensive security assurance across its product portfolio andproduct lifecycles, meeting the cybersecurity expectations of global supply chain partners and proactively aligning with upcoming international regulatory requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
About certification
IEC 62443-4-1 is a critical standard for securing industrial control systems and critical infrastructure. Unlike product-specific testing, the standard focuses on establishing robust and repeatable secure development processes. Innodisk’s process-level certification spans its full range of offerings, including memory modules, flash storage, edge AI systems, embedded camera modules, firmware, SDKs, and cloud management tools.
All products are now developed under standardized procedures covering secure design, threat modeling, vulnerability management, and long-term maintenance, ensuring consistent and reliable protection across every product line and at every lifecycle stage.
Cybersecurity standards
The EU CRA has become a defining benchmark for global product cybersecurity standards and is expected to significantly reshape the IoT and edge device landscape. The regulation places explicit responsibility on manufacturers to ensure ongoing vulnerability disclosure, maintenance, and security updates throughout a product’s operational lifetime.
The SDL framework required by IEC 62443-4-1 is closely aligned with these obligations, emphasizing security from design and development through deployment and after-sales technical support. By adopting this standard ahead of full CRA enforcement, Innodisk has strengthened its internal security governance and established a standardized framework for secure firmware and software maintenance, further enhancing the reliability of its edge AI solutions.
AI adoption
“As AI adoption accelerates across manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and smart-city environments, the cybersecurity of edge devices has become a shared challenge across the global ecosystem,” said Yichuan Chen, Senior Manager of Quality Assurance at Innodisk.
“Achieving IEC 62443-4-1 certification reinforces Innodisk’s role as a trusted supply chain partner and enables our customers to more easily meet international procurement requirements, ultimately helping accelerate AI adoption and infrastructure modernization worldwide.”
Looking forward, Innodisk will continue to further strengthen its secure development practices and work closely with global ecosystem partners to build a trusted foundation for next-generation edge AI and industrial computing.
