As connected systems expand in homes, industries, and commercial settings, verified cybersecurity is increasingly essential. To meet this need, Microchip Technology has earned UL Solutions’ certification for the IEC 62443‑4‑1 Maturity Level 2 (ML2) standard for Industrial Automation and Control Systems. This recognition confirms that Microchip’s product development process aligns with internationally recognized “secure by design” principles, providing audit-verified assurance that its products are created within a mature, consistent, and independently validated cybersecurity framework.
The IEC 62443‑4‑1 standard defines the requirements for a secure development lifecycle (SDL), including threat modeling, secure design practices, rigorous implementation controls, verification and validation, and long‑term defect and patch management. UL Solutions’ certification confirms that Microchip integrates security into its hardware and software from initial design through end‑of‑life, and that these practices are consistently applied across business units and global design and manufacturing centers.
This level of audit‑backed assurance helps customers simplify their own cybersecurity evaluations, reduce supply‑chain risk and accelerate readiness for emerging regulatory requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
“Achieving IEC 62443‑4‑1 ML2 certification reflects Microchip’s long‑standing commitment to rigorous security practices,” said Nuri Dagdeviren, corporate vice president of Microchip Technology’s secure computing group. “Customers need partners who can demonstrate secure development maturity, not simply claim it. This independently validated certification strengthens trust, reduces risk across the hardware–firmware stack and supports our customers as they work toward CRA and other standards‑based compliance.”
