2 Safety guidelines
2.1 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

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
