NOTICE

Security standards for SINUMERIK controls connected to MindSphere

The connection of SINUMERIK 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 solely responsible for preventing unauthorized access to your plants, systems, machines and network. 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.

The actions required in this regard are described in Configuration Manual Industrial Security.

NOTICE

Data misuse due to an unprotected Internet connection

An unrestricted Internet connection can lead to data misuse, e.g. when transferring the asset data.

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

Further information about communications security can be found in the Configuration Manual Industrial Security.

NOTE

SINUMERIK control system security

The necessary security measures (e.g. virus scanner, firewalls, operating system patching, etc.) must be implemented on the SINUMERIK controls.

Further information about communications security can be found in the Configuration Manual Industrial Security.

NOTE

Operating PC security

The necessary security measures (e. g. virus scanner, firewalls, operating system patching, etc.) must be implemented on the PCs that are used to visualize and configure MindSphere applications at the OEM or end user facility.

Further information about PCs in the industrial environment can be found in the Configuration Manual Industrial Security.
