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. Siemens' products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to an
enterprise network or the Internet if and to the extent that such a connection is necessary and
only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in
place.
Recommendations from Siemens regarding appropriate security measures should also be
taken into account. You will find more information about industrial security at:

Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available
and that the latest product versions are used. Using versions that are either out-of-date or no
longer supported can increase the risk of cyber threats.
