In a time of increasing cyber threats and more stringent regulatory frameworks such as NIS2<\/strong> and the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)<\/strong>, it is evident that cybersecurity must be a top priority<\/strong>. To maintain competitiveness and adhere to regulations, industrial technology providers must deliver certified, secure-by-design solutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The symmedia Hub is now officially certified to IEC 62443-3-3 Security Level 2 (SL2)<\/strong>, making it, to the best of our knowledge, the only out-of-the-box SaaS solution worldwide<\/strong> to achieve this certification within this particular scope<\/strong>. symmedia continues to demonstrate its leadership in secure industrial connectivity.<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t just meet that bar.
We raised it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Why IEC 62443-3-3 matters<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The IEC 62443 series is the globally recognized benchmark for cybersecurity in industrial automation and control systems. Part 3-3 defines the technical security requirements for system components<\/strong>, and SL2 signifies the level of maturity capable of withstanding deliberate, skilled threats. SL2<\/strong> corresponds to the recommended<\/strong> target level for OEMs and industrial service platforms<\/strong>, especially those exposed to public networks or involving remote access by the VDMA <\/strong>(German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association) and aligns with NIS2\/CRA expectations.<\/p>\n

Meeting these requirements entails more than simply securing a few endpoints \u2013 it involves implementing structured, scalable, and proven security capabilities across the entire product ecosystem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The symmedia Hub<\/strong> provides customers with the exact solution they need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What it took to get here: built on a secure foundation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This achievement is the result of hard work and planning, and it didn’t happen overnight. Years of continuous investment in security, quality, and compliance<\/strong> have led to this result.Before we pursued 3-3 certification, we laid the groundwork with IEC 62443-4-1 ML4 certification<\/strong> \u2013 the highest level of security for product development processes. symmedia is one of only three other companies worldwide to have achieved ML4 certification via T\u00dcV Nord.<\/p>\n

The symmedia Hub<\/strong> is secure today<\/strong> and will remain secure tomorrow<\/strong>. It evolves with the threat landscape and is backed by rigorous lifecycle processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What the certification covers<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The audit under the scope of the IEC 62443 3-3 performed by T\u00dcV Nord was extensive, covering a broad and deep scope that includes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Robust user authentication and authorization mechanisms<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Secure communication protocols<\/strong> (including encryption, integrity checks, and certificate management)<\/li>\n
  • Intrusion detection and logging capabilities<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Defense-in-depth architecture<\/strong> designed to isolate and contain potential threats<\/li>\n
  • Secure configuration and maintenance procedures<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Hardening of software components<\/strong> and system interfaces<\/li>\n
  • And more, fully aligned with the SL2 threat profiles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \n

    What this means for our customers<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    For both existing and new customers, the IEC 62443-3-3 SL2 certification means:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
