1.1 Industrial security
Siemens provides products and solutions with Industrial Security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and 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 form part of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. These systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the Internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network
segmentation) are in place.

Siemens products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them even more
secure. Siemens expressly recommends that product updates be applied as soon as they
become available and that only the latest product versions be used. Use of product versions
that are no longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s
exposure to cyber threats.
