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 constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected to
an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only
when appropriate security measures (e.g. 󹪝rewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit
https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available
and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer
supported, and failure to apply the 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
https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).

Security recommendations 3
To prevent unauthorized access to the device and/or network, observe the following security
recommendations.
General
• Check the device regularly to ensure that these recommendations and/or other internal
security policies are complied with.
• Evaluate your plant as a whole in terms of security. Use a cell protection concept with suitable
products (https://www.industry.siemens.com/topics/global/en/industrial-security/pages/
default.aspx).
• 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.
• No product liability will be accepted for operation in a non-secure infrastructure.
• Use VPN to encrypt and authenticate communication from and to the devices.
• For data transmission via a non-secure network, use an encrypted VPN tunnel (IPsec,
OpenVPN).
• Separate connections correctly (WBM, Telnet, SSH etc.).
• Check the user documentation of other Siemens products that are used together with the
device for additional security recommendations.
• Using remote logging, ensure that the system protocols are forwarded to a central logging
server. Make sure that the server is within the protected network and check the protocols
regularly for potential security violations or vulnerabilities.
WLAN
• We recommend that you ensure redundant coverage for WLAN clients.
• More information on data security and data encryption for SCALANCE W is available in
SCALANCE W: Setup of a Wireless LAN in the Industrial Environment (https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/22681042)
Authentication
Note
Accessibility risk - Risk of data loss
Do not lose the passwords for the device. Access to the device can only be restored by resetting
the device to factory settings which completely removes all con󹪝guration data.
SCALANCE W786-x
Operating Instructions, 12/2021, A5E03678337-14 11

• Replace the default passwords for all user accounts, access modes and applications (if
applicable) before you use the device.
•De󹪝ne rules for the assignment of passwords.
• Use passwords with a high password strength. Avoid weak passwords, (e.g. password1,
123456789, abcdefgh) or recurring characters (e.g. abcabc).
This recommendation also applies to symmetrical passwords/keys con󹪝gured on the device.
• Make sure that passwords are protected and only disclosed to authorized personnel.
• Do not use the same passwords for multiple user names and systems.
• Store the passwords in a safe location (not online) to have them available if they are lost.
• Regularly change your passwords to increase security.
• A password must be changed if it is known or suspected to be known by unauthorized
persons.
• When user authentication is performed via RADIUS, make sure that all communication takes
place within the security environment or is protected by a secure channel.
• Watch out for link layer protocols that do not o󹪜er their own authentication between
endpoints, such as ARP or IPv4. An attacker could use vulnerabilities in these protocols to
attack hosts, switches and routers connected to your layer 2 network, for example, through
manipulation (poisoning) of the ARP caches of systems in the subnet and subsequent
interception of the data tra󹪟c. Appropriate security measures must be taken for non-secure
layer 2 protocols to prevent unauthorized access to the network. Physical access to the local
network can be secured or secure, higher layer protocols can be used, among other things.
Certi󹪝cates and keys
• The device contains a pre-installed X.509 certi󹪝cate with key. Replace this certi󹪝cate with a
self-made certi󹪝cate with key. Use a certi󹪝cate signed by a reliable external or internal
certi󹪝cation authority. You can install the certi󹪝cate via the WBM ("System > Load and Save").
• Use the certi󹪝cation authority including key revocation and management to sign the
certi󹪝cates.
• Make sure that user-de󹪝ned private keys are protected and inaccessible to unauthorized
persons.
• If there is a suspected security violation, change all certi󹪝cates and keys immediately.
• Use password-protected certi󹪝cates in the format "PKCS #12".
• Use certi󹪝cates with a key length of 4096 bits.
• Verify certi󹪝cates based on the 󹪝ngerprint on the server and client side to prevent "man in the
middle" attacks. Use a second, secure transmission path for this.
• Before sending the device to Siemens for repair, replace the current certi󹪝cates and keys with
temporary disposable certi󹪝cates and keys, which can be destroyed when the device is
returned.
Security recommendations
SCALANCE W786-x
12 Operating Instructions, 12/2021, A5E03678337-14

Physical/remote access
• Operate the devices only within a protected network area. Attackers cannot access internal
data from the outside when the internal and the external network are separate from each
other.
• Limit physical access to the device exclusively to trusted personnel.
The memory card or the PLUG (C-PLUG, KEY-PLUG, CLP) contains sensitive data such as
certi󹪝cates and keys that can be read out and modi󹪝ed. An attacker with control of the
device's removable media could extract critical information such as certi󹪝cates, keys, etc. or
reprogram the media.
• Lock unused physical ports on the device. Unused ports can be used to access the system
without authorization.
• For communication via non-secure networks, use additional devices with VPN functionality
to encrypt and authenticate communication.
• When you establish a secure connection to a server (for example for an upgrade), make sure
that strong encryption methods and protocols are con󹪝gured for the server.
• Terminate the management connections (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, SSH) properly.
• Make sure that the device has been powered down completely before you decommission it.
For more information, refer to "Decommissioning (Page 5)".
• We recommend formatting a PLUG that is not being used.
Hardware/Software
• Use VLANs whenever possible as protection against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and
unauthorized access.
• Restrict access to the device by setting 󹪝rewall rules or rules in an access control list (ACL).
• Selected services are enabled by default in the 󹪝rmware. It is recommended to enable only
the services that are absolutely necessary for your installation.
For more information on available services, see "List of available services (Page 11)".
• Use the latest web browser version compatible with the product to ensure you are using the
most secure encryption methods available. Also, the latest web browser versions of Mozilla
Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge have 1/n-1 record splitting enabled, which
reduces the risk of attacks such as SSL/TLS Protocol Initialization Vector Implementation
Information Disclosure Vulnerability (for example, BEAST).
• Ensure that the latest 󹪝rmware version is installed, including all security-related patches.
You can 󹪝nd the latest information on security patches for Siemens products at the Industrial
Security (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity) or ProductCERT Security Advisories
(https://www.siemens.com/cert/en/cert-security-advisories.htm) website.
For updates on Siemens product security advisories, subscribe to the RSS feed on the
ProductCERT Security Advisories website or follow @ProductCert on Twitter.
• Enable only those services that are used on the device, including physical ports. Free physical
ports can potentially be used to gain access to the network behind the device.
• For optimal security, use SNMPv3 authentication and encryption mechanisms whenever
possible, and use strong passwords.
Security recommendations
SCALANCE W786-x
Operating Instructions, 12/2021, A5E03678337-14 13

•Con󹪝guration 󹪝les can be downloaded from the device. Ensure that con󹪝guration 󹪝les are
adequately protected. The options for achieving this include digitally signing and encrypting
the 󹪝les, storing them in a secure location, or transmitting con󹪝guration 󹪝les only through
secure communication channels.
Con󹪝guration 󹪝les can be password protected during download. You enter passwords on the
WBM page "System > Load & Save > Passwords".
• When using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol):
–Con󹪝gure SNMP to generate a noti󹪝cation when authentication errors occur.
For more information, see WBM "System > SNMP > Noti󹪝cations".
– Ensure that the default community strings are changed to unique values.
– Use SNMPv3 whenever possible. SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are considered non-secure and
should only be used when absolutely necessary.
– If possible, prevent write access above all.
• 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.
• Use WPA2/ WPA2-PSK with AES to protect the WLAN. You can 󹪝nd additional information in
the con󹪝guration manual Web Based Management "Security menu".
Secure/ non-secure protocols
• Use secure protocols if access to the device is not prevented by physical protection measures.
• Disable or restrict the use of non-secure protocols. While some protocols are secure (e.g.
HTTPS, SSH, 802.1X, etc.), others were not designed for the purpose of securing applications
(e.g. SNMPv1/v2c, RSTP, etc.).
Therefore, take appropriate security measures against non-secure protocols to prevent
unauthorized access to the device/network. Use non-secure protocols on the device using a
secure connection (e.g. SINEMA RC).
• If non-secure protocols and services are required, ensure that the device is operated in a
protected network area.
• Check whether use of the following protocols and services is necessary:
– Non-authenticated and unencrypted ports
– LLDP
– Syslog
– DHCP options 66/67
– TFTP
– Telnet
– HTTP
– SNMP v1/2c
– Syslog
– SNTP
Security recommendations
SCALANCE W786-x
14 Operating Instructions, 12/2021, A5E03678337-14

• The following protocols provide secure alternatives:
– SNMPv1/v2c → SNMPv3
Check whether use of SNMPv1/v2c is necessary. SNMPv1/v2c is classi󹪝ed 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
– TFTP → SFTP
– Syslog Client → Syslog Client TLS
• Using a 󹪝rewall, restrict the services and protocols available to the outside to a minimum.
• For the DCP function, enable the "Read Only" mode after commissioning.
