Icomera has achieved IEC 62443-4-1 certification for its secure product development lifecycle process.
IEC 62443-4-1 certification, which assesses the processes behind product development, verifies that Icomera fulfils the requirements for the secure development of products across their entire life cycle – This includes defining security requirements, secure design, secure implementation, verification and validation, defect management, patch management and product end-of-life.
In short, this means a systematic approach to identifying and managing cybersecurity risks is embedded in our product development.
For clients, Icomera’s IEC 62443-4-1 certificate provides the clear evidence needed for them to demonstrate secure supply chains and alignment with compliance frameworks such as NIS2.
This achievement strengthens Icomera’s position as both a trusted supplier today and a prepared partner for tomorrow.
How Icomera Keeps Public Transport Connected and Secure
October marks National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a reminder that in our increasingly digital world, security and reliability are fundamental to everything we do. This is especially important in public transport, where millions of passengers and tens of thousands of operational systems depend on seamless connectivity every day. At Icomera, our routers sit at the heart of this challenge, providing operators and travellers with secure, high-performance connections that are trusted worldwide.
Built for Security and Reliability
Public transport brings unique challenges: equipment must withstand constant movement, fluctuating environments, and the demands of hundreds of passengers online at once. Icomera routers are designed specifically for these rugged conditions, combining reliability with advanced security.
Key security features include:
- Secure Boot – Prevents unauthorised firmware from running, blocking threats at the earliest stage.
- Encrypted OS Storage – Protects system files and configurations, even if physical access is attempted.
- Built-in Firewalls – Filters network traffic to defend against external threats.
- WPA3-OWE Encryption – Ensures passenger data is shielded from interception during their journey.
- Over-the-Air (OTA) Security Updates – Allows operators to deploy patches remotely without disrupting service.
Together, these technologies ensure that every journey is not only connected but protected.
Compliance by Design
Every Icomera product is developed with compliance at its core. All applicable devices are CE marked, ensuring adherence to regulatory security requirements. Two key frameworks are also shaping the future of transport cybersecurity:
- The EU NIS2 Directive, which increases obligations for risk management and incident reporting.
- The EU Cyber Resilience Act, which introduces stricter requirements for secure product design across critical sectors.
Icomera proactively manages compliance for both. Beyond certification, we are actively contributing to the development of international railway cybersecurity standards such as IEC TC9 / PT 63452, and we align with CENELEC CLC/TS 50701, embedding cybersecurity across the entire railway lifecycle.
A Trusted Partner in Connected Journeys
Connectivity is only as strong as the security behind it. By combining cutting-edge technology, rigorous compliance, and a culture of cybersecurity, Icomera provides more than just fast and reliable internet. We deliver peace of mind.
During National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we reaffirm our commitment to building a safe, secure, and connected future for public transport. For operators and passengers alike, that means dependable, future-proof journeys, where being connected also means being protected.
