1.3 Industrial security
Note
Industrial Security
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that su
pport the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In orde
r 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
Secur
ity concept. Siemens products and solutions only represent one component of such a
co
ncept.
The customer is solely responsible for preventing unauthorized access to its plants, systems,
machines and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be
connected to
the company's network or the internet if and to the extent nece
ssary 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 v

Siemens
’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to appl
y produc
t 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.

WARNING
Unsafe operating states resulting from software manipulation
Software manipulation (e.g. viruses, trojans, malware or worms) can cause unsafe
operating states in your system that may lead to death, serious injury, and property
damage.
• Keep the software up to date.
• Incorporate the automation and drive components into a holistic, state-of-the-art
industrial security concept for the installation or machine.
• Make sure that you include all installed products into the holistic industrial security
concept.
• Protect files stored on exchangeable storage media from malicious software by applying
suitable protection measures, e.g. virus scanners.
