Introduction

1.5 Security information

1.5 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.

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.
NOTICE
Insufficient protection during storage
The packaging only provides limited protection against moisture and infiltration.
• Provide additional packaging as necessary.
Special conditions for storage and transportation of the device are listed in Technical data
(Page 163).
