Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are
important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens'
products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly
that you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should
also be considered. For more information about industrial security, visit
(http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
To stay informed about product updates as they occur, sign up for a product-specific
newsletter. For more information, visit (http://support.automation.siemens.com).
Information about third-party software updates
This product contains third-party software. Siemens accepts liability with respect to
updates/patches for the third-party software only when these are distributed by Siemens in
the context of a Software Update Service contract or officially approved by Siemens.
Otherwise, updates/patches are installed at the user's own risk. You can find more

Notes on protecting administrator accounts
A user with administrator rights has extensive access and manipulation possibilities.
Therefore, make sure that the administrator account is adequately protected to prevent
unauthorized changes. To do this, set secure passwords and use a standard user account
for regular operation. Other measures, such as the use of security policies, should be
applied as required.
