Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or 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.
Customer is responsible for preventing unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines,
and networks. Systems, machines, and components should only be connected to the
enterprise network or the Internet if and to the extent 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 http://www.siemens.com/

Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends applying product updates as soon as available and to always
use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and
failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
