NOTICE
Misuse of data
Note that it is essential to use secure data storage when saving your AMM-relevant data -
particularly your confidential data. It is best to store this data encrypted locally or encrypted
on the network. Make sure that this data cannot be accessed by unauthorized personnel.
This applies to the following data:
● SSH key files
● Archive files
● Image files
● Project files
● Trace files
● Safety-relevant files
Further information on secure data storage can be found in the Auto-Hotspot.
NOTICE
Danger due to insecure Internet connection
Make sure that before establishing a network connection, your PC is connected to the Internet
via a secure connection (VPN connection). This also applies to connections via VNC Viewer.
This VPN connection can be made, for example, with a SCALANCE S Security Module. Note
the security-relevant information when using the SCALANCE S Module. Further information
on the use of SCALANCE S can be found in the Auto-Hotspot.
NOTICE
Security risk through administrator rights
If you operate AMM on a PC with permanent administrator rights, there is an increased
security risk. Therefore, ensure that there is a secure operating environment for AMM, and
only assign administrator rights temporarily and selectively.
Further information on the secure administration of user accounts and the assignment of
rights can be found in the Auto-Hotspot.
