To prevent unauthorized access to the device and/or network, observe the following
security recommendations.
General
Check the device regularly to ensure that these recommendations and/or other
inte
rnal security policies are complied with.
Evaluate the security of your location and use a cell protection concept with suitable
products (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
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.
No product liability will be accepted for operation in a non-secure infrastructure.
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 (IPs
ec,
O
penVPN).
Separate connections correctly (WBM, SSH etc.).
Check the user documentation of other Siemens products that are used together wit
h
t
he device for additional security recommendations.
Using remote logging, ensure that the system protocols are forwarded to a central
logging server. Make sure that the server is within the protected network and check
the protocols regularly for potential security violations or vulnerabilities.
WLAN
We recommend that you ensure redundant coverage for WLAN clients.
