EOL IT component cannot be replaced, the PACE zone must be immediately

disconnected from connections with untrustworthy networks.

2.6 Disclaimer regarding cyber security

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.
