In 2024, Volktek officially passed the IEC 62443-4-1 certification, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to secure product development for industrial automation and control systems (IACS). This internationally recognized standard validates that cybersecurity is deeply integrated into the entire lifecycle of our industrial networking products—from concept to design, development, release, and ongoing maintenance.

 

As industrial networks face increasing cyber threats, achieving this certification reflects Volktek's proactive stance in helping customers build resilient, future-ready infrastructures.
