Safety instructions 2

2.1 Security information

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 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. firewalls and/or network segmentation)

are in place.

For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please

visit (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).

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 customers' exposure to

cyber threats.

To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS

Feed visit (https://www.siemens.com/cert).
