2.3 Industrial Security
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 represent only one component of such a
concept.
Customers are solely responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines, and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the
company's network or the Internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security
measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ recommendations regarding 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 even more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to
always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported
and failure to apply the latest updates may increase exposure to cyber threats.
