Companies can defend their connected operations against security threats and have confidence that their control systems are designed with security in mind with the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 5580 controller from Rockwell Automation. With new enhancements, it is now the world’s first programmable automation controller to be certified compliant with the IEC 62443-4-2 security standard.
The certification by third party TÜV Rheinland confirms that the controller meets the global standard’s robust cybersecurity requirements. The controller achieved compliance with the addition of new security features to its firmware.
Security features within the ControlLogix 5580 controller include:
- User identification and authentication
- Continuous monitoring and logging
- Integrity checks to help ensure the product has not been altered.
