2.4 Cybersecurity information
Siemens provides pr
oducts and solutions with industrial cybersecurity 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 
cybersecurity concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a 
concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, 
machines and networks. Such 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. rewalls and/or network segmentation) 
are in place.

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