  • Until updates can be deployed, Siemens advises customers to mitigate the risk of their products by implementing the following: Always run WinCC server and engineering stations within a trusted network. Ensure that the WinCC server and the engineering workstations communicate through encrypted channels only (e.g., activate feature “Encrypted Communications” in WinCC V7.3, or establish a VPN tunnel). Restrict access to the WinCC server to trusted entities. Apply up-to-date application whitelisting software and virus scanners.
  • As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends protecting network access to the SIMATIC WinCC server with appropriate mechanisms. It is also advised to follow recommended security practices and to configure the environment according to operational guidelines in order to run the devices in a protected IT environment.
