ZIUR has participated in the conference on challenges of the IEC62443 certification process for industrial cybersecurity, organized by APD with the collaboration of S21Sec and Check Point Software in Bilbao, in which attendees have been able to learn about the process and the actors involved in the certification for industrial products, following the safety requirements of the international standard IEC 62443.
In the different presentations, key aspects of the regulations have been presented and the certifiable elements have been detailed.

In this sense, María Penilla has stated that the objective of the project, based on the ZIUR evaluation framework, is “for the 4 selected manufacturers to start the certification project from the most basic level with the intention that they continue to evolve in their system. of processes, and in turn, that their experience can help other companies.”
