Security Recommendations - Siemens SIMATIC RTLS4030T EX2 Operating Instructions Manual

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
cybersecurity concept. Siemens' products and solutions form 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. firewalls and/or network segmentation)
are in place.

Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends performing product updates as soon as they are
available and using only 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.

Note on firmware/software support
Check regularly for new firmware/software versions or security updates and apply them. After
the release of a new version, previous versions are no longer supported and are not maintained.
