Security information

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security 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 security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept.

Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the enterprise 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.

Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into account. For more information about industrial security, please visit http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)

Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.

To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS Feed under http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).

Recycling and disposal

The products are low in pollutants, can be recycled and meet the requirements of the WEEE directive 2012/19/EU for the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment.

Do not dispose of the products at public disposal sites.

For environmentally friendly recycling and the disposal of your old device contact a certified disposal company for electronic scrap or your Siemens contact (Product return (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109479891)).

Note the different national regulations.

Trademarks

The following and possibly other names not identified by the registered trademark sign ® are registered trademarks of Siemens AG:

SCALANCE W778-1 /W738-1 Operating Instructions, 01/2107, C79000-G8976-C450-01

To prevent unauthorized access, note the following security recommendations.

General

● You should make regular checks to make sure that the device meets these recommendations and/or other security guidelines.

● Evaluate your plant as a whole in terms of security. Use a cell protection concept with suitable products.

● When the internal and external network are disconnected, an attacker cannot access internal data from the outside. Therefore operate the device only within a protected network area.

● For communication via non-secure networks use additional devices with VPN functionality to encrypt and authenticate the communication.

● Terminate management connections correctly (WBM. Telnet, SSH etc.).

Physical access

● Restrict physical access to the device to qualified personnel.

● The memory card or the PLUG (C-PLUG, KEY-PLUG, security PLUG) contains sensitive

data such as certificates, keys etc. that can be read out and modified.

Software (security functions)

● Keep the software up to date. Check regularly for security updates of the product. You will find information on this on the Internet pages "Industrial Security (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)"

● Inform yourself regularly about security advisories and bulletins published by Siemens ProductCERT (http://www.siemens.com/cert/en/cert-security-advisories.htm).

● Only activate protocols that you really require to use the device.

● Use the security functions such as address translation with NAT (Network Address

Translation) or NAPT (Network Address Port Translation) to protect receiving ports from access by third parties.

● Restrict access to the device with a firewall or rules in an access control list (ACL - Access Control List).

● If RADIUS authentication is via remote access, make sure that the communication is within the secured network area or is via a secure channel.

● The option of VLAN structuring provides good protection against DoS attacks and unauthorized access. Check whether this is practical or useful in your environment.

Security recommendations

SCALANCE W778-1 /W738-1

8 Operating Instructions, 01/2107, C79000-G8976-C450-01

● Enable logging functions. Use the central logging function to log changes and access attempts centrally. Check the logging information regularly.

● Configure a Syslog server to forward all logs to a central location.

● Use WPA2/ WPA2-PSK with AES to protect the WLAN. If iPCF or iPCF-MC is used, use

the AES encryption.

Passwords

● Define rules for the use of devices and assignment of passwords.

● Regularly update passwords and keys to increase security.

● Change all default passwords for users before you operate the device.

● Only use passwords with a high password strength. Avoid weak passwords for example

password1, 123456789, abcdefgh.

● Make sure that all passwords are protected and inaccessible to unauthorized personnel.

● Do not use the same password for different users and systems or after it has expired.

Keys and certificates

This section deals with the security keys and certificates you require to set up HTTPS ( HyperText Transfer Protocol Secured Socket Layer).

● We strongly recommend that you create your own HTTPS certificates and make them available.

There are preset certificates and keys on the device. The preset and automatically created HTTPS certificates are self-signed.

We recommend that you use HTTPS certificates signed either by a reliable external or by an internal certification authority. The HTTPS certificate checks the identity of the device and controls the encrypted data exchange. You can install the HTTPS certificate via the WBM (System > Load and Save).

● Handle user-defined private keys with great caution if you use user-defined SSH or SSL keys.

● Use the certification authority including key revocation and management to sign the certificates.

● Verify certificates and fingerprints on the server and client to avoid "man in the middle" attacks.

● We recommend that you use certificates with a key length of 2048 bits.

● Change keys and certificates immediately, if there is a suspicion of compromise.

Secure/non-secure protocols

● For the DCP function, enable the "DCP read-only" mode after commissioning.

● Avoid and disable non-secure protocols, for example Telnet and TFTP. For historical

reasons, these protocols are still available, however not intended for secure applications. Use non-secure protocols on the device with caution.

Security recommendations

SCALANCE W778-1 /W738-1 Operating Instructions, 01/2107, C79000-G8976-C450-01

● The following protocols provide secure alternatives:

– SNMPv1/v2 → SNMPv3

Check whether use of SNMPv1 is necessary. SNMPv1 is classified as non-secure. Use the option of preventing write access. The product provides you with suitable setting options.

If SNMP is enabled, change the community names. If no unrestricted access is necessary, restrict access with SNMP.

Use SNMPv3 in conjunction with passwords.

– HTTP → HTTPS

– Telnet → SSH

– SNTP → NTP

● Use secure protocols when access to the device is not prevented by physical protection

measures.

● To prevent unauthorized access to the device or network, take suitable protective

measures against non-secure protocols.

● If you require non-secure protocols and services, operate the device only within a

protected network area.

● Restrict the services and protocols available to the outside to a minimum.
