Industrial Networking Secured by Design – IEC 62443-4-2 Ready

The Advantech EKI-7000 Series is a family of high-performance industrial managed Ethernet switches designed to ensure secure, reliable, and deterministic communication in modern industrial networks. Built for factory automation, energy, transportation, and critical infrastructure applications, the EKI-7000 Series combines rugged hardware design with advanced cybersecurity features aligned with IEC 62443-4-2 standards.

Cybersecurity Aligned with IEC 62443-4-2

To address the increasing convergence of IT and OT environments, selected models in the EKI-7000 Series are designed in compliance with IEC 62443-4-2, the international standard for industrial communication network security.

This ensures:

• Role-based access control (RBAC)
• Secure authentication and password management
• Port security and MAC filtering
• HTTPS/SSL-encrypted management
• SNMPv3 secure network monitoring
• System event logging and audit capabilities

These features help system integrators and plant operators build secure-by-design architectures and support compliance with internal cybersecurity policies and regulatory requirements.

High Availability & Fast Recovery

The EKI-7000 Series supports advanced redundancy technologies such as X-Ring / X-Ring Pro, enabling ultra-fast network recovery (<20 ms). This ensures minimal downtime and continuous data flow in mission-critical industrial applications.

Industrial-Grade Reliability

• Wide operating temperature range
• Rugged metal housing
• DIN-rail mounting
• Resistance to vibration and electrical interference
• Flexible port configurations (Fast/Gigabit Ethernet, SFP uplinks, PoE options)
