~~a~~||||| |security information|||Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial cybersecurity 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 cybersecurity concept. Siemens’ products and|| ||||solutions constitute one element of such a concept. Customers are responsible|| ||||for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines and|| ||||networks. Such systems, machines and components 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. For additional information on industrial|| ||||cybersecurity measures that may be implemented, please visit|| ||||www.siemens.com/cybersecurity-industry. Siemens’ products and solutions|| ||||undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly|| ||||recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available|| ||||and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are|| ||||no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase|| ||||customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
