IT security guidelines
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure
operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are important components in
a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens’ products and solutions undergo
continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly that you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable preventive
action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic, state-of-the-art
industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should also be considered. For more
information about industrial security, visit http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
To stay informed about product updates as they occur, sign up for a product-specific newsletter. For

Protective measures for the SM 1281 system

Notice
Make sure that only authorized persons are granted access – both physically and in terms of data
technology – to the SM 1281 system.
• Change the preset password of the SM 1281 ("0000") to an individual password.

• Keep your password safe.

• Data transfer, including passwords, between a client PC and the SM 1281 via a network is carried out unsecured,
i.e. without encryption.
For secured (remote) access to the SM 1281, you must therefore use a router, for example, which establishes
a secure connection with encryption and authentication.
