Case Study: Carlo Gavazzi Controls strengthens automation software security with UL Solutions

Strengthening Automation Software Security in Industry 4.0

Carlo Gavazzi Controls, a multinational electronics group serving the building and industrial automation markets, wanted to strengthen the security of its connected automation software as Industry 4.0 increased cyber risk. The company needed a way to better protect its Universal Web Platform (UWP 3.0) and to explain its cybersecurity posture clearly to customers and partners. UL Solutions was brought in to provide independent expertise and validation.

UL Solutions delivered a customized workshop on industry standards and security frameworks, including IEC 62443, along with penetration testing of UWP 3.0 and a detailed report with mitigation recommendations. The engagement improved Carlo Gavazzi’s security knowledge, verified the security status of its products against IEC 62443, and gave the company third-party credibility to build customer confidence in its solutions.
