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

). 

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.
