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.
