Advantech Modular HMI Compliance with IEC-62443-4-2 Certification

TAIPEI, Taiwan – May 08, 2025 — Advantech (TWSE: 2395), a global leader in industrial IoT and automation, proudly announces that its Human-Machine Interface (HMI), the TPC-B520 and TPC-B300, have officially received IEC 62443-4-2 Verification of Compliance (VoC) certification from Bureau Veritas. These products represent Advantech's first HMI systems to achieve compliance with this international cybersecurity standard, demonstrating its strategic approach to addressing industrial security threats while enabling customers to proactively meet future global regulatory requirements. This certification strengthens operational security across smart manufacturing and digital factories.

Bureau Veritas is a world-leading testing, inspection, and certification organization specializing in industrial cybersecurity, product verification, and management system certification, aimed at enhancing product trustworthiness and market competitiveness for clients.

IEC 62443-4-2: Setting the Global Benchmark for Industrial Cybersecurity

IEC 62443-4-2 is the comprehensive cybersecurity standard for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS). This standard defines the technical requirements for how factories, production lines, energy systems, and infrastructure must implement robust cybersecurity protection. With only a few industrial HMI products currently verified as compliant with this rigorous standard, Advantech's achievement highlights its exceptional product credibility in today's increasingly security-conscious industrial market.

Modular HMI: Flexible Design Meets Advanced Security

The TPC-B520 and TPC-B300 feature modular designs that adapt flexibly to a variety of industrial environmental requirements, while also enhancing both hardware specifications and cybersecurity protections.

• Supports high-brightness/slim-bezel touch panels ranging from 12.1 to 23.8 inches, suitable for use in both factory and harsh outdoor environments
• TPC-B300 is equipped with an Intel Atom® X6425E processor
• TPC-B520 is powered by 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors (i5/i7)
• Optional TPM 2.0 security module and Secure Boot protection mechanisms
  
• IP66-rated front panel protection with wide operating temperature range from -20°C to 60°C
  
• Extensive I/O expansion capabilities (LAN/COM/USB), with optional Wi-Fi or LTE modules
  

These systems integrate Intel-driven security technologies including Intel® Platform Trust Technology (PTT), Intel® AES-NI encryption instruction set acceleration, and Intel® Boot Guard technology. Such technologies support system integrators in meeting IEC 62443-4-2 standard requirements for authentication, data protection, and system integrity while reducing the complexity of system integration and certification processes.

Strengthening Operational Security in an Evolving Threat Landscape

Implementing these IEC 62443-4-2 compliant HMI solutions enables system integrators (SIs) to build secure and reliable Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) architectures that effectively safeguard system integrity, data confidentiality, and availability even during cybersecurity incidents. This comprehensive protection allows manufacturing operations to respond in real-time to evolving threats and enhance operational resilience in the face of increasingly stringent global cybersecurity regulations.
