2.2  Security information 
Siemens offers IT security mechanisms for its portfolio of automation and drive products in 
order to support safe operation of the plant/machine. We recommend that you stay informed 
about the IT security developments for your products. For information on this topic, refer to: 
Industry Online Support (http://www.siemens.de/automation/csi_en_WW
): You can register 
for a product-specific newsletter here.   
For the safe operation of a plant/machine, however, it is also necessary to integrate the 
automation components into an overall IT security concept for the entire plant/machine, 
which corresponds to the state-of-the-art IT technology. You can find information on this 
under: Industrial Security (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
). 
Products used from other manufacturers should also be taken into account here.
