Security information

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. 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. Systems, machines
and components should only be connected to the enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with
appropriate security measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens' guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into account. You can find more
information about industrial security by visiting:

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

Transportation and storage

To guarantee sufficient protection during transport and storage, observe the following:
● Keep the original packaging for subsequent transportation.
● Devices/replacement parts should be returned in their original packaging.
● If the original packaging is no longer available, ensure that all shipments are properly packaged to provide sufficient
protection during transport. Siemens cannot assume liability for any costs associated with transportation damages.
