Cybersecurity Disclaimer
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
taken into account.
For additional information, please contact your Siemens sales representative or visit

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
