CHANDLER, Ariz., April 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As connected systems spread across residential, industrial and commercial environments, the need for independently verified cybersecurity assurance is becoming a core requirement. To help address this demand, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) has been certified by UL Solutions to the IEC?62443-4-1 Maturity Level 2 (ML2) Industrial Automation and Control System standard, demonstrating that its new product development process meets globally recognized secure by design criteria. The certification provides audit-backed assurance that products are developed under a mature, repeatable and independently verified cybersecurity framework.
The IEC?62443-4-1 standard defines the requirements for a secure development lifecycle (SDL), including threat modeling, secure design practices, rigorous implementation controls, verification and validation, and long-term defect and patch management. UL Solutions' certification confirms that Microchip integrates security into its hardware and software from initial design through end-of-life, and that these practices are consistently applied across business units and global design and manufacturing centers.
This level of audit-backed assurance helps customers simplify their own cybersecurity evaluations, reduce supply-chain risk and accelerate readiness for emerging regulatory requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
"Achieving IEC?62443-4-1 ML2 certification reflects Microchip's long-standing commitment to rigorous security practices," said Nuri Dagdeviren, corporate vice president of Microchip Technology's secure computing group. "Customers need partners who can demonstrate secure development maturity, not simply claim it. This independently validated certification strengthens trust, reduces risk across the hardware-firmware stack and supports our customers as they work toward CRA and other standards-based compliance."
