MiTAC Digital Technology Secures IEC 62443-4-1 Certification from TÜV NORD Taiwan to Strengthen Cybersecurity Development for Edge AI and IPC

TAOYUAN, TAIWAN – July 21, 2026 – MiTAC Digital Technology Corporation (MDT, TWSE:7821), a global leader in automotive electronics and AIoT solutions, has officially achieved the international industrial cybersecurity certification IEC 62443-4-1. Verified by TÜV NORD Taiwan, the certification validates MDT's adherence to the global standards for secure product development lifecycles. This achievement underscores the company's commitment to embedding cybersecurity into the development process and delivering highly resilient, reliable, and security-focused edge computing and industrial computer (IPC) solutions to clients worldwide.

As the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and artificial intelligence at the edge (Edge AI) continue to scale, securing edge devices has become an essential consideration for enterprise product quality and market competitiveness. Edge nodes routinely process and transmit massive amounts of critical data on the front lines of connected environments, making them prime targets for sophisticated cyber threats. By implementing the IEC 62443-4-1 , MDT integrates a  "Security by Design" philosophy directly into its product development framework—spanning hardware engineering through software and firmware deployment—enhancing product security, reliability, and resilience.

“In an era of hyper-connected AIoT environments, robust cybersecurity is no longer optional; it has become a cornerstone of product development,” said Steve Chang, President of MiTAC Digital Technology. “By marrying our deep-rooted expertise in industrial hardware with the systematic secure development practices of IEC 62443-4-1, we help mitigate potential cybersecurity risks at the source. This empowers our global B2B partners to deploy edge computing infrastructures with greater confidence, establishing a trusted foundation that supports long-term competitive advantage.

The certification also positions MDT ahead of tightening global regulations, notably the European Union’s upcoming Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which mandates strict full-lifecycle security protocols and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms for digital products. With the IEC 62443-4-1 framework in place, MDT supports international clients more effectively align with complex compliance standards, accelerating time-to-market in heavily regulated regions.

The new certification expands MDT's robust compliance portfolio, which already features ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 13485, GMP, the automotive-specific quality standard IATF 16949, and the vehicle cybersecurity standard ISO/SAE 21434. By bridging automotive-grade safety with industrial-grade network defenses, MDT delivers a rare, multi-layered trust architecture. The company will continue fusing operational quality, functional safety, and cybersecurity to empower global enterprises navigating the complexities of digital transformation.
