Additional specific security measures for SINAMICS products can be found in chapter Security
measures for SINAMICS (Page 31).
To protect industrial plants and systems comprehensively against cyber attacks, measures
must be applied simultaneously at all levels. From the operational up to the field level – from
access control to copy protection. For this purpose, we use "Defense in Depth" as a general
protection concept, according to the recommendations of ISA99 / IEC 62443, the leading
standard for security in industrial automation.
