  • Page 8: Structure Of The Type Designations

    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. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept. Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines and networks.

  • Page 9: Security Recommendations

    ● Keep the software up to date. Check regularly for security updates of the product. You will find information on this on the Internet pages "Industrial Security (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity) " ● Inform yourself regularly about security advisories and bulletins published by Siemens ProductCERT. ● Only activate protocols that you really require to use the device.
  • Page 10 Security recommendations ● If RADIUS authentication is via remote access, make sure that the communication is within the secured network area or is via a secure channel. ● The option of VLAN structuring provides good protection against DoS attacks and unauthorized access.
  • Page 11 Security recommendations Secure/non-secure protocols ● For the DCP function, enable the "DCP read-only" mode after commissioning. ● Avoid and disable non-secure protocols, for example Telnet and TFTP. For historical reasons, these protocols are still available, however not intended for secure applications. Use non-secure protocols on the device with caution.
  • Page 12 Security recommendations ● Port status – Open The port is always open and cannot be closed. – Open (when configured) The port is open if it has been configured. Note With some protocols the port may be open although the corresponding protocol is disabled, for example TFTP.
