Kinco Automation’s R&D system across its industrial automation product portfolio has successfully achieved IEC 62443-4-1 Maturity Level 2 (ML2) certification.
This milestone represents more than compliance with an international cybersecurity standard. It is independent third-party validation of Kinco’s secure development lifecycle (SDL), cybersecurity governance, and standardized secure development processes.
What This Certification Means for Global Partners
IEC 62443 is the leading international cybersecurity standard for industrial automation and control systems, covering the entire product development lifecycle. Achieving ML2 demonstrates that Kinco has established repeatable, standardized, and secure development processes aligned with global best practices.
As cybersecurity regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) continue to reshape global market requirements, this certification helps customers and partners strengthen compliance readiness and build greater confidence in deploying Kinco Automation solutions worldwide.
Security by Design, Built In from the Start.
Our Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) embeds shift-left security throughout every stage of the engineering process. By identifying and mitigating potential vulnerabilities early in development, Kinco helps reduce cybersecurity risks at the source and enables customers to meet security requirements for mission-critical industrial applications—without relying on extensive additional security infrastructure.
Continuous Commitment to Secure Innovation
Backed by more than two decades of expertise in motion control and HMI technologies, Kinco has embedded cybersecurity into every stage of its product development lifecycle—from security requirements and secure coding to rigorous testing, vulnerability management, and ongoing maintenance.
Looking ahead, Kinco will continue strengthening its secure development capabilities toward IEC 62443-4-1 Maturity Level 3 (ML3) certification. By combining high-performance automation with cybersecurity by design, we remain committed to delivering trusted industrial automation solutions that help customers accelerate their digital transformation with confidence.
