Why Is Upgrading Cybersecurity So Important? #
In this era of the Internet of Everything, industrial and commercial equipment increasingly rely on Windows systems, making cybersecurity protection a frontline requirement. Not only are hacker techniques evolving rapidly, but international standards like IEC 62443-4-2 have also become the basic threshold for many industry clients. Advantech is committed to making cybersecurity compliance and protection simple, intuitive, and efficient—this is precisely why we developed Windows Power Suite!
Technical Principles and Market Applications: From Complex to Simple #
What Is Attack Surface Reduction (ASR)? #
Imagine hackers as burglars looking for cracks in your doors, and ASR (Attack Surface Reduction) is the function that seals up those cracks one by one!
ASR is a security control tool launched by Microsoft that proactively blocks common malicious attack methods, such as automatically blocking suspicious macros and restricting the auto-launch of unknown programs. Enterprises can customize or select default rules according to their needs to enhance system defenses and reduce risks.
What Is the IEC 62443-4-2 Standard? #
This is the international gold standard in industrial cybersecurity, ensuring that devices comply with rigorous protection regulations from design to deployment. Advantech Windows Power Suite offers a dedicated “IEC Standard Settings Page,” helping users achieve compliance with a single click—saving both time and effort. Whether you’re a cybersecurity novice or a seasoned expert, you can handle it with ease!
