PRESS RELEASE
February 14, 2025, Oslo, Norway — Zenitel, a global leader in Unified Critical Communication solutions, proudly announces the compliance with the cybersecurity standard IEC 62443-4-2, making it the industry’s first public address and voice alarm provider to achieve this milestone.
As critical communication and security systems become increasingly interconnected, they also become more attractive targets for cybercriminals, particularly at sites of national importance. Successful cyberattacks can lead to significant downtime, major health incidents, data loss or even ransom demands—resulting in severe service disruptions and financial losses. This is why Zenitel firmly believes that a strong cybersecurity design ethos must be foundational for all audio manufacturers.
By achieving compliance with IEC 62443 at system level, including IEC 62443-4-2 at the component level, Zenitel Vipedia V5 represents the highest recognition of cybersecurity resilience, enabling partners and customers to build a fully cyber-secure public address and voice alarm system. It also affirms that Zenitel’s PAVA solutions meet rigorous product development and lifecycle management requirements set forth by industry experts.
Helping your cybersecurity strategy through a multi-layer security approach
Zenitel’s market- and technology-driven approach to cybersecurity allows it to deliver industry-leading public address and voice alarm solutions. By integrating robust, data-centric security technologies, its multi-layered security approach combines encryption, authentication, and authorization to protect touchpoints within the Zenitel Vipedia system.
Multifactor authentication (MFA), with time-based one-time password (OTP) used in the Zenitel Vipedia system, adds an extra layer of security and significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches. All interfaces, whether a third-party application or an API call, work based on the principle of “never trust, always verify”, regardless of whether a user or system is inside or outside the network.

Through collaboration with leading cybersecurity organizations such CIS, ISO, IEC, and NDAA, Zenitel has developed in-house expertise in designing and building cybersecure public address and voice alarm solutions. Zenitel supports its customer’s and partner’s cybersecurity needs by providing security guidance, training, and tools aligned with industry best practices.
