Security information

NOTICE

Security standards for SINUMERIK controls connected to MindSphere

The connection of SINUMERIK or FANUC controls to MindSphere via TLS 1.2 /https meets the highest security standards.

SINUMERIK versions that do not meet these standards are not part of the product. For these versions, additional security measures must be taken.

You are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to your plants, systems, machines, and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the company's network or the Internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.

NOTICE

Data misuse due to insecure Internet connection

Data misuse can occur due to an unrestricted Internet connection.

Before establishing a network connection, ensure that your PC is exclusively connected to the Internet via a secure connection. Pay attention to the information relevant to security.

You will find further information about communication security in the Configuration Manual: Industry Security.

NOTE

Operating PC security

The necessary security measures (e.g. virus scanner, firewalls, OS patching, etc.) must be implemented on the PCs that are used for visualization and configuration of Manage MyMachines with the machine operator or end customer.

You can find more information on PCs in the industrial environment in the Configuration Manual: Industry Security.

NOTE

SINUMERIK control system security

The necessary security measures (e.g. virus scanner, firewalls, OS patching, etc.) must be implemented on the PCUs/IPCs.

You will find further information about communication security in the Configuration Manual: Industry Security.

Software

The connection is via the integrated SINUMERIK Integrate Client.

Always use the latest version.

NOTE

Parallel operation with SINUMERIK Integrate applications

Parallel operation with SINUMERIK Integrate applications is not possible.

Delivery form

The SINUMERIK Integrate Client as well as the latest updates and further information on the applications and products are stored on PridaNet and can be downloaded directly from there.

Additional information

When connecting SINUMERIK controls that are not of the current generation, special attention must be paid to security requirements.

The security requirements of MindSphere according to the state of the art must be considered for such controls and ensured with further measures and network components within the local IT environment.

  • It must be ensured that the communication between the factory network and MindSphere meets the current security standards, e.g. TLS 1.2.

  • It must be ensured that unauthorized access to the control in the company network / factory network environment and attacks on the firewall in front of the control are not possible.

  • It must be ensured that communication inside the factory network environment cannot be attacked.

The guidelines of the customer's IT department must be followed.
