This software is protected under Swiss and/or foreign Copyright Laws and provisions in international treaties. Unau-

1. SECURITY DISCLAIMER 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’ port-
folio 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 neces-
sary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place. Ad-
ditionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into account. For additional infor-
mation, please contact your Siemens sales representative or visit https://www.siemens.com/global/en/home/com-
pany/topic-areas/future-of-manufacturing/industrial-security.html.

Siemens’ portfolio undergoes continuous development to make them 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 http://www.siemens.com/cert/en/cert-security-advisories.htm.
