Cybersecurity notes
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial cybersecurity 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
cybersecurity 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 cybersecurity measures that may be implemented,
please visit
https://www.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/topic-areas/industrial-
cybersecurity.html (https://www.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/topic-areas/
industrial-cybersecurity.html).
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.

Security recommendations 2
To prevent unauthorized access to the device and/or network, observe the following security
recommendations.
Note
Note that GPS signals can be obfuscated or blocked by malicious third-party devices.
General
• Check the device regularly to ensure that these recommendations and/or other internal
security policies are complied with.
• Evaluate the security of your location and use a cell protection concept with suitable
products. For more information, refer to:
Link: (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)
• When the internal and external network are disconnected, an attacker cannot access internal
data from the outside. If possible, operate the device only within a protected network area.
• 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).
• 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.
2.1 Passwords
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 M812, M816
Operating Instructions, 11/2023, C79000-G8976-C343-09 13

• Replace the default passwords for all user accounts, access modes and applications (if
applicable) before you use the device. Create a separate user account for each user that will
receive access to the device.
•De󹪝ne rules for the assignment of passwords.
• Use passwords with a high password strength. Avoid weak passwords, (e.g. Passwort1,
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 user account details in a safe location to have them available if they are lost. You can
use password managers or encrypted 󹪝les/drives for this purpose.
• 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. Use a RADIUS
connection with changing passwords, expiry time, etc.
• Watch out for link layer protocols that do not o󹪜er their own authentication between
endpoints, such as ARP. 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
• There is a pre-installed Web server certi󹪝cate (RSA, 2048 bit key length) and an SSH Private
Key in the device. Replace this certi󹪝cate with a user-generated, high-quality certi󹪝cate with
key. Use a certi󹪝cate signed by a reliable external or internal certi󹪝cation authority. You can
install the certi󹪝cate in the WBM via "System > Load and Save".
• Use the certi󹪝cation authority including key revocation and management to sign the
certi󹪝cates.
• Use password-protected certi󹪝cates in the format "PKCS #12".
• Use certi󹪝cates with a key length of 4096 bits.
• 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.
• SSH and SSL keys are available for admin users. Make sure that you take appropriate security
measures when shipping the device outside of the trusted environment:
– Replace the SSH and SSL keys with disposable keys prior to shipping.
– Decommission the existing SSH and SSL keys. Create and program new keys when the
device is returned.
Security recommendations
2.1Passwords
SCALANCE M812, M816
14 Operating Instructions, 11/2023, C79000-G8976-C343-09

• 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.
Physical/remote access
• If possible, 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 gain forbidden access
to the plant.
• We highly recommend that you keep the protection from brute force attacks (BFA) activated
to prevent third parties from gaining access to the device. For more information, see the
con󹪝guration manuals, section "Brute Force Prevention".
• If possible, use the VPN functionality to encrypt and authenticate communication for
communication via non-secure networks.
• 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. HTTPS, SSH) properly.
• Make sure that the device has been powered down completely before you decommission it.
For more information, refer to "Decommissioning (Page3)".
• 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13)".
• To ensure you are using the most secure encryption methods available, use the latest web
browser version compatible with the product. 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).

2.1Passwords
SCALANCE M812, M816
Operating Instructions, 11/2023, C79000-G8976-C343-09 15

• 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.
• Use the authentication and encryption mechanisms of SNMPv3 if possible. Use strong
passwords.
•Con󹪝guration 󹪝les can be downloaded from the device. Ensure that con󹪝guration 󹪝les are
adequately protected.
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.
Secure/non-secure protocols
• Use secure protocols if access to the device is not prevented by physical protection measures.
• 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 is necessary:
– Telnet
– HTTP
– Broadcast pings
– Non authenticated and unencrypted interfaces
– ICMP (redirect)
– LLDP
– DHCP Options 66/67
– SNTP
– NTP
– TFTP
– TIA Portal Cloud Connector (not available with SCALANCE MUM85x)
– VRRPv3
– DNS
– SNMPv1/V2c
• If a secure alternative is available for a protocol, use it.
The following protocols provide secure alternatives:
– SNMPv1/v2 → SNMPv3
Check whether use of SNMPv1 is necessary. SNMPv1 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.
– HTTP → HTTPS
– Telnet → SSH
– NTP → Secure NTP
– TFTP → SFTP
– TIA Portal Cloud Connector using a secure connection. Use the "TIA Portal Cloud
Connector" integrated in the product over a VPN solution (e.g. SINEMA RC).
Con󹪝gure the 󹪝rewall settings of the SCALANCE M800/S615 (e.g. prede󹪝ned IPv4 rules
"Cloud Connector" to prevent unauthorized access of network devices to the "TIA Portal
Cloud Connector Server").
• 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.
• For command SMS, use the identi󹪝er to secure your SMS messages. You can set a
con󹪝gurable value for a SCALANCE M device that, in addition to the phone number, must
match the received identi󹪝er of the SMS. You con󹪝gure the identi󹪝er on the WBM page
"System > SMS > SMS Command" or with the CLI commands sms-cmd idx identifier
and sms-cmd sender.
