1 Cyber security 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

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 to comply with security advisories on the latest security threats, patches

and other related measures, published, among others, under https://www.siemens.com/cert/en/cert-security-

advisories.htm.
