important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens’ 
products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly 
that you regularly check for product updates. 
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable 
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic, 
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should 
also be considered. For more information about industrial security, visit http://
