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. 

The customer is responsible for preventing unauthorized access to his plants, 
systems, machines and networks. Systems, machines and components should 
only be connected to the enterprise network or the Internet where necessary and 
with appropriate security 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 version. Use of product 
versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may 
increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
