Eaton cybersecurity design principles: Recommendations and best practices

Pages 8 Pages

Eaton’s cybersecurity design principles are built on industry standards like IEC 62443, UL, and OWASP to secure smart IIoT devices and connected systems. Their secure-by-design approach integrates security throughout the product lifecycle, from development to decommissioning. Key principles include minimizing attack surfaces, enforcing least privilege, defense-in-depth strategies, zero trust architecture, secure defaults, and software integrity with cryptographic updates. Privacy, vulnerability management, and lifecycle support ensure resilience against evolving cyber threats while enabling safe and trusted deployment in critical infrastructure.
