Siemens provides a portfolio of products, solutions, systems and services that includes security
functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks. In the field of
Building Technologies, this includes building automation and control, fire safety, security
management as well as physical security systems.
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 security concept. Siemens’
portfolio only forms one element of such a concept.
You are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to your plants, systems, machines and
networks which 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. Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security
measures should be considered. For additional information, please contact your Siemens sales
representative or visit https://www.siemens.com/global/en/home/company/topic-areas/future-of-
manufacturing/industrial-security.html
Siemens’ portfolio undergoes continuous development to make it more secure. Siemens strongly
recommends that updates are applied as soon as they are available and that the latest versions are
used. Use of versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may
increase your exposure to cyber threats. Siemens strongly recommends complying with security
advisories on the latest security threats, patches and other related measures, published, among
others, under http://www.siemens.com/cert/en/cert-security-advisories.htm
