How a KVM System Supports IEC 62443 Requirements in Industrial Applications
In industrial applications and critical infrastructure, cybersecurity and operational safety are inseparable. Adhering to international standards such as IEC 62443 is essential to protect production systems, data, and processes.
IHSE KVM systems support these requirements through physical separation, role-based access control, and isolated interfaces—helping to reduce attack surfaces and enforce security policies effectively.
Introduction
1 How KVM systems support the ISA/IEC 62443 standard
2 The role of KVM technology
3 The zonal model and KVM technology solutions: Enhancing security and efficiency
4 Advantage of KVM technology solutions in a zonal architecture
5 Integrating KVM switches within the zonal model
6 Conclusion
KVM solutions enable centralized control, real-time switching, and role-based access management. When combined with the zonal security model, they allow for the physical separation of control and management networks (air gapping) while maintaining operational efficiency.
