Security information

Note
Industrial security
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Products and solutions from Siemens constitute one element of such a
concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the Internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. using firewalls and/or
network segmentation) are in place.
Additionally, Siemens' guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. For more information about industrial security, please visit:

Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they
become available, and that only the latest product versions are used. Use of product
versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase
customer's exposure to cyber threats.
