CyberPower Receives IEC 62443-4-1 Certification from DEKRA

Strengthening cybersecurity for intelligent power management

NEW TAIPEI CITY, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Power equipment is essential to business continuity. As remote monitoring and centralized management become widespread, the cybersecurity of software and network interfaces has become a critical consideration in equipment selection. DEKRA awarded CyberPower the IEC 62443-4-1 certification for its secure product development processes following an independent assessment. The certification demonstrates CyberPower's ability to integrate cybersecurity requirements into product development and ongoing maintenance.

CyberPower's portfolio includes uninterruptible power systems (UPS), power distribution units (PDUs), power management software, surge protectors, power converters, network cards and environmental sensors. As power management extends from on-site operation to remote monitoring over networks, users gain more timely access to equipment status information. This connectivity also brings access controls, software updates, and potential vulnerabilities into focus. Managing these risks while improving operational efficiency is an important consideration for suppliers supporting business continuity.

IEC 62443-4-1 is part of the international IEC 62443 series of cybersecurity standards for industrial automation and control systems. It specifies requirements for a secure product development lifecycle, covering security requirements, design and implementation, security verification and validation, security issue management, patch management, and management of product end-of-life. Clearly defined responsibilities and documented procedures help manufacturers track security requirements during development and address newly identified security issues after delivery.

Hundry Chien, Assistant Vice President of CyberPower's Data Center Development Division, said: "Data centers depend on reliable power and management equipment that can be safely operated and maintained over time. By incorporating cybersecurity into our product development processes, we give our R&D teams a consistent framework for design, testing, and subsequent updates. This certification recognizes our commitment and helps customers better understand how we manage cybersecurity risks throughout the product lifecycle."

Maxi Tsai, General Manager of DEKRA APAC DTS and Onward Security, said: "The cybersecurity of connected power equipment is closely linked to business continuity. An effective secure development process makes risk identification, security testing, and vulnerability management part of day-to-day work, supported by traceable records. CyberPower's successful assessment provides customers with independent evidence to assess a supplier's cybersecurity management and long-term maintenance capabilities, alongside equipment performance and power supply reliability."

DEKRA combines its local cybersecurity expertise in Taiwan with global testing and certification resources to provide IEC 62443 secure development process assessments, product cybersecurity testing, and certification services. For the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), its services include assessing applicability, gap analysis, reviews of vulnerability management and incident reporting procedures, and technical documentation support. By assessing both development processes and product security capabilities, DEKRA helps Taiwanese manufacturers build on their existing cybersecurity practices to meet market and regulatory requirements and reduce compliance risks associated with product launches and ongoing maintenance.
