IEC 62061 Safety-Critical Cybersecurity Testing for Smart Devices
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing our daily lives with smart devices that integrate seamlessly into home and work environments. However, the proliferation of these devices also brings significant cybersecurity risks. To mitigate these risks, especially in safety-critical applications, IEC 62061 provides a robust framework for ensuring the security and integrity of IoT devices.
IEC 62061 is an international standard that sets out testing protocols to ensure the safety and cybersecurity of products used within or connected to a programmable logic controller (PLC) system. For smart home applications, this includes devices such as smart thermostats, security systems, lighting controls, and more. The standard ensures that these devices are secure against unauthorized access, data breaches, and potential vulnerabilities.
