How it works
The standard describes practices and requirements for each phase of the product lifecycle (requirements, design, implementation, verification, release, maintenance and vulnerability handling). The manufacturer implements a documented process that can be audited and certified by a third party.
Problem solved
Industrial automation products are increasingly networked and exposed to cyberattacks; a standardized, auditable process for developing them securely is needed.
