Security
informa-
tion
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that
support the secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or
networks. They are important components in a holistic industrial security
concept. With this in mind, Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous
development. Siemens recommends strongly that you regularly check for
product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to
take suitable preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each
component into a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party
products that may be in use should also be considered. For more information
