Date: 5 November 2018

PITTSBURGH, PA  – power management company Eaton continues to expand its cybersecurity programme and collaboration with global safety science organisation, UL, establishing measurable cybersecurity criteria for network-connected power management products and systems. New UL cybersecurity certification for Eaton’s intelligent uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and grid automation technologies demonstrates the company’s worldwide capabilities to meet stringent specifications and customer expectations for safe, secure power management.

“Eaton’s proactive and consistent organisation-wide approach to cybersecurity gives customers confidence that our digital solutions meet rigorous testing standards to operate securely worldwide”, said Michael Regelski, senior vice president and chief technology officer of the Electrical Sector at Eaton. “We know that an increasingly connected world needs trusted environments, and having our products, processes and labs verified by an independent industry leader like UL gives  our customers an important advantage.”

Eaton continues to expand its cybersecurity programme and collaboration with global safety science organisation UL. With products, processes and labs verified by an independent third-party, Eaton is providing customers with an important advantage.

Today Eaton is adding two more technologies to its growing portfolio of products certified to UL’s cybersecurity standards. These are each a first in the industry in their categories:
