2
To prevent unauthorized access, note the following security recommendations.
A checklist supports you in setting up your device. You can find the checklist at the following
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109745536
General
● You should make regular checks to make sure that the device meets these
recommendations and/or other security guidelines.
● Evaluate your plant as a whole in terms of security. Use a cell protection concept with
suitable products:

● When the internal and external network are disconnected, an attacker cannot access
internal data from the outside. Therefore operate the device only within a protected network
area.
● Use VPN to encrypt and authenticate communication from and to the devices.
● For data transmission via a non-secure network use an encrypted VPN tunnel (IPsec, Open
VPN).
● Separate connections correctly (WBM. Telnet, SSH etc.).
Physical access
● Limit physical access to the device to qualified personnel.
The memory card or the PLUG (C-PLUG, KEY-PLUG) contains sensitive data such as
certificates, keys etc. that can be read out and modified.
● Lock unused physical ports on the device. Unused ports can be used to gain forbidden
access to the plant.
Software (security functions)
● Keep the software up to date. Check regularly for security updates of the product.
You will find information on this on the Internet pages "Industrial Security (
www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
● Inform yourself regularly about security advisories and bulletins published by Siemens
ProductCERT (
https://www.siemens.com/cert/en/cert-security-advisories.htm
).
● Only activate protocols that you really require to use the device.
● Restrict access to the management of the device with firewall rules.
● The option of VLAN structuring provides good protection against DoS attacks and
unauthorized access. Check whether this is practical or useful in your environment.
