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 the
enterprise network or the Internet if and to the extent that it is necessary and with appropriate
security measures in place (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation).
Recommendations from Siemens regarding appropriate security measures should also be
observed. You can find more information about industrial security under:

Siemens products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them increasingly
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 Using outdated or unsupported
versions can increase the risk of cyber threats.
