1.1 Industrial Security

Industrial Security

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 only form one element of such a concept.

Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept.

Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines and

networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the enterprise

network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security measures

(e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.

Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into

account. For more information about industrial security, please visit (http://www.siemens.com/

industrialsecurity).

Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.

Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to always

use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and

failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.

To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS

Feed under (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).

1.2 Disclaimer for third-party software updates

This product includes third-party software. Siemens AG only provides a warranty for updates/

patches of the third-party software, if these have been distributed as part of a Siemens software

update service contract or officially released by Siemens AG. Otherwise, updates/patches are

undertaken at your own risk. You can find more information about our Software Update Service

offer on the Internet at Software Update Service (http://w3.siemens.com/mcms/topics/en/

simatic/licenses/software-update-service/Pages/Default.aspx).

1.3 Notes on protecting administrator accounts

A user with administrator privileges has extensive access and manipulation options in the

system.

Therefore, ensure there are adequate safeguards for protecting the administrator accounts to

prevent unauthorized changes. To do this, use secure passwords and a standard user account

Microsoft® Windows® 7 (USB stick)

Operating Instructions, 03/2019, A5E46844810-AA 5

for normal operation. Other measures, such as the use of security policies, should be applied

as needed.
