1.2.8 Security concept
To secure plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is required to implement (and contin-
uously maintain) a holistic security concept that is state of the art. B&R products and solutions are only one com-
ponent of such a concept.
The user is responsible for preventing unauthorized access to plants, systems, machines and networks. Systems,
machines and components should only be connected to the corporate network or
Internet
if and only to the extent
necessary and if appropriate protective measures (e.g. use of
firewall
s and network segmentation) have been
taken.
B&R products and solutions are constantly being further developed to make them even more secure. B&R expressly
recommends that updates be performed as soon as the corresponding updates are available and that only current
product versions be used. Using outdated or no longer supported versions
can
increase the risk of cyber threats.
1.2.9 Third-party updates
This product includes third-party
software
(drivers, etc.). B&R only assumes warrants for updates/patches to third-
party
software
if they have been officially released by B&R. Otherwise, updates/patches are performed at your
own risk.
1.2.10 Administrator accounts
A user with administrator rights has extensive options for accessing and manipulating the system.
Therefore, make sure that administrator accounts are adequately secured in order to prevent unauthorized
changes. To do this, use secure passwords and a standard user account for regular operation. Additional measures
such as the use of security policies must be applied as needed.
