As the wave of Industry 4.0 sweeps the world, smart manufacturing has become the most crucial trend in various industries. In a smart system, the integration of IT and OT systems can comprehensively enhance the value of OT system's information in the application field, thereby creating a different operating model. However, while companies are creating new value, risks also follow. In the last decade, cyberattacks on OT systems have been frequently reported. Information security has become essential in the construction of smart manufacturing systems. Moxa, a global leader in industrial communications and networking, became the first manufacturer in Taiwan to obtain IEC 62443-4-1 certification this year, with the assistance of Bureau Veritas.
