1.6.1  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 constitute one element of 
such a concept. 
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, 
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be 
connected to an enterprise network or the Internet if and to the extent such a connection 
is necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network 
segmentation) are in place. 
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, 
please visit (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
). 
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more 
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they 
are available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that 
are no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer's 
exposure to cyber threats.
