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.
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 necessary and only to the extent necessary and with
appropriate protective measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. For more information about industrial security, please visit

Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends applying product updates as soon as they are available and
always using the latest product versions. Using versions that are obsolete or are no longer
supported can increase the risk of cyber threats.
