Certification for Kalmar cyber security system
Kalmar’s automated cyber security solution has been awarded IEC 62443-4-1 certification, reportedly the first such award for the cargo handling sector.
The Kalmar One system is developed by the Kalmar Technology and Competence Centre in Tampere, Finland.
“We are proud to be the first solution provider in our industry to achieve this certification, which demonstrates Kalmar’s commitment to ensuring the highest level of security for its products and solutions,” said Timo Alho, director, Product Management, Automation, Kalmar.
“The certification provides additional peace of mind for Kalmar One customers by ensuring they have access to the latest patches and updates to ensure the security of their systems. It also demonstrates that the system has been developed in line with industry best practices.”
IEC 62443-4-1 is part of a series of standards that specifies the process requirements for the secure development of products used in industrial automation and control systems.
It defines secure development life-cycle requirements related to cyber security for products intended for use in IACS environments and provides guidance on how to meet the requirements described for each element.
The SDL process of the Kalmar One automation system was independently audited by certification company, Exida.
