Schneider Electric has announced that its EcoStruxure IT Network Management Card 3 (NMC3) has achieved the IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 (SL2) designation from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

TÜV Rheinland independently certified the NMC3 platform. SL2 certification provides more stringent requirements and increased security resiliency than SL1, which NMC3 obtained last year. The NMC3 is utilised by the majority of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT DCIM line of products.

TÜV Rheinland has also certified Schneider Electric as ISASecure Secure Development Lifecycle Assurance (SDLA) compliant.

“According to the 2024 Allianz Risk Barometer, cyber incidents are ranked as the number one business concern. At an average reported cost of more than $4 million an incident, we understand why cybersecurity tops the priority list for CIOs,” said Kevin Brown, SVP for EcoStruxure IT, Data Centre Business, Schneider Electric.

“With the IEC 62443-4-2 SL2 and ISASecure SDLA cybersecurity certifications, Schneider Electric is leading the industry with this dual certification helping to reduce risks to critical infrastructure.

“EcoStruxure IT is providing customers with a powerful approach – the flexibility to manage their IT infrastructure as they choose and to do it simply while also managing their cybersecurity compliance because being secure doesn’t mean it has to be difficult,” Brown added. “We are the first in the industry providing this solution as we continue our commitment to enable resilient, secure, and sustainable IT infrastructure.”
