Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
SCALANCE WxM766
Operating Instructions, 07/2021, C79000-G8976-C617-02 5

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).
Decommissioning
Shut down the device properly to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing con󹪝dential
data in the device memory.
To do this, restore the factory settings on the device.
Also restore the factory settings on the storage medium.
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 certi󹪝ed
disposal company for electronic scrap or your Siemens contact (Product return (https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109479891)).
Note the di󹪜erent national regulations.
Device defective
If a fault develops, send the device to your SIEMENS representative for repair. Repairs on-site are
not possible.
