Advantech Partners with DEKRA to Strengthen Global Industrial Cybersecurity Compliance

The partnership aims to help end customers and system integrators address cybersecurity requirements from the product design stage, reduce compliance risks, and shorten time to market. Advantech and DEKRA will combine their expertise in industrial computing, cybersecurity testing, and global certification to provide independent assurance and help companies navigate evolving international requirements. This approach helps customers reduce the time and costs associated with late-stage design changes while establishing a comprehensive compliance process from product concept and design development to testing, certification, and market deployment.

As an initial outcome of the collaboration, Advantech’s AFE-E630 industrial edge system has passed an independent assessment by DEKRA and received an Attestation of Conformity (AoC). The AFE-E630 security functions meet IEC 62443-4-2 SL2 requirements within the assessed scope, providing a verified basis for product cybersecurity in commercial and industrial energy storage management applications.

The collaboration will extend to emerging technology areas, including AI-enabled industrial systems, semiconductor manufacturing, robotics, drones, and energy site equipment and transportation management, to accelerate global market access and enhance the safety and trustworthiness of next-generation intelligent devices.
