Schneider Electric Achieves Cybersecurity Certification for EcoStruxure Solutions

Schneider Electric Achieves Cybersecurity Certification for EcoStruxure SolutionsSchneider Electric has announced an industry first: its EcoStruxure IT Network Management Card 3 (NMC3) platform has obtained a new and higher level of cybersecurity certification, making it the first Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) network card to achieve IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 (SL2) designation from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

TÜV Rheinland, one of the world’s largest and leading testing providers, has independently certified the NMC3 platform, ensuring vendor products designed for data center and distributed IT environments meet a set of well-defined security requirements and undergo thorough testing and assessment.

This new and higher level of cybersecurity certification underscores Schneider Electric’s commitment to leading the industry in secure operations and better protects against cyberthreats. SL2 certification provides more stringent requirements and increased security resiliency than SL1, which was obtained last year.

In addition to the new standard, TÜV Rheinland has certified Schneider Electric and the cybersecurity processes used to develop our products, including the NMC3, as ISASecure® Secure Development Lifecycle Assurance (SDLA) compliant.

The NMC3 is embedded in the majority of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT DCIM products and provides a robust, remotely accessible management application over the network for critical power and cooling infrastructure.

“According to the 2024 Allianz Risk Barometer, cyber incidents are ranked as the number one business concern. At an average reported cost of more than $4 million an incident, we understand why cybersecurity tops the priority list for CIOs,” said Kevin Brown, SVP for EcoStruxure IT, Data Center Business, Schneider Electric. “With the IEC 62443-4-2 SL2 and ISASecure® SDLA cybersecurity certifications, Schneider Electric is leading the industry with this dual certification helping to reduce risks to critical infrastructure.”

Simplifying the process of installing firmware

Companies are challenged to keep up with firmware updates. Many enterprise customers manage their critical power and cooling infrastructure with their own in-house management tools, third-party network management tools, or building management systems. These systems don’t know when the firmware at your connected endpoints – particularly in distributed and edge environments – requires an update.
