Moxa, as a dedicated participant of the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) and the OpenChain Project under the Linux Foundation®, and, as part of being a Linux Debian sponsor of the Debian Long Term Support (LTS) program aims to provide long-term assurance and stability for industrial systems based on Debian. Moxa Industrial Linux (MIL) was developed as a hardened, secure, Debian-based operating system to provide critical infrastructure with reliability and confidence.

MIL provides 10 years of OS support with continual security updates. Paired with the world's first certified computer with IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2, MIL provides unparalleled reliability throughout the lifecycle of the industrial operation. MIL is built on top of Debian with the standard Linux kernel and streamlines development using Moxa utilities to simplify system, I/O, and network management.

Reliable, Secure, and Developer-friendly Industrial Linux

Reliability

• Crash-free filesystem architecture preserves system integrity
• Failover-enabled filesystem provides uninterrupted operation
• Intelligent network keep-alive ensures stable communication channels

Security

• IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 compliance accelerates product certification by up to 6 months*
• Secure Boot with hardware-based Root-of-Trust strengthens device security
• 10 years of OS support lowers the cost of long-term security maintenance

* SRefer to the selection table for model coverage

Easy Development

• Debian-based environment supports effortless migration from Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu applications
• Preconfigured tools for system and network management cut down engineering time
• Easy-to-use GUI accelerates failover setup and reduces provisioning complexity

The Foundation of Industrial Stability

Moxa Industrial Linux (MIL) is a highly reliable OS focused on security, which takes advantage of the long-term supporting Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP). With MIL, enterprises don't have to worry about unpleasant/impactful, frequent system updates while assuring application security and reliability. Built-in tools will make it easier for you to manage data, I/O interfaces, wireless connections, and asset protection.

Moxa System Manager (MSM)

MSM provides full-system snapshot capabilities along with backup and restore functions, enabling fast recovery after system failures. It also supports system failover during boot, factory reset, and device decommissioning—improving system availability and supporting efficient lifecycle management.

×

Moxa Connection Manager (MCM)

MCM offers an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) to configure and prioritize Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and cellular network profiles. It guarantees continuous connectivity through built-in failover and failback mechanisms—even during cyberattacks. Supporting connection diagnostics, MCM is ideal for applications requiring reliable network switching and resilient multi-channel connectivity.

×

Moxa Computer Interface Manager (MCIM)

MCIM simplifies system integration by providing a unified interface for managing a wide range of I/O hardware and non-standard components—including DI/DO, buttons, disks, buzzers, and RS-232/422/485 mode switching. Equipped with built-in CLI support, MCIM eliminates the need to customize control logic for different SoC platforms, reducing complexity and speeding up application development.

×

Moxa Software Updater (MSU)

MSU enables you to maintain Moxa Industrial Linux with the latest security patches, addressing known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). It supports both online and offline update methods and incorporates an auto-recovery mechanism to guarantee a reliable and secure update process—even in case of failure.

Moxa Guardian

Moxa Guardian delivers security diagnostics to evaluate device compliance with IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 standards. It compares current system configurations against a recommended secure baseline, identifies deviations, and provides actionable recommendations—including a one-click remediation feature—to help maintain compliance and strengthen security posture.

×

Secure Boot

Secure Boot performs a chain-of-trust validation starting with the SoC’s OTP fuse verification of the bootloader, which then authenticates the Linux kernel. The kernel proceeds to verify system footprints through the TPM. The TPM releases the LUKS key to decrypt the root filesystem only when these footprints match Moxa’s factory-set policy.

Why Choose MIL

Reliable Network Connectivity

Moxa Connection Manager guarantees seamless connectivity with auto failover and failback between Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks.

Long-term Support

Backed by 10 years of security patches and kernel updates, MIL ensures continuity and resilience for industrial systems.

Cost Efficiency

By reducing development time and minimizing maintenance overheads, MIL delivers measurable cost savings—up to 250 person-days or $150,000 per year.

Industrial-grade Security

Developed with IEC 62443-4-1 certified lifecycle processes, MIL provides advanced security for industrial-grade networks.

Faster Development

Debian compatibility simplifies application migration and enables developers to work with familiar open-source tools.

Enterprise-grade Services

Moxa’s field application engineers and PSIRT team deliver fast, expert support for integration challenges and security incidents.
