IT security of the environment

For drive and control components that are integrated into a network (e.g. a fieldbus, WLAN, or Ethernet network), it is possible to make settings even more remotely. This brings with it the risk of a parameter change that is not visible externally resulting in unexpected, but not uncontrolled system behavior, and this may impact negatively on operational security, system availability, or data security.

Make sure that unauthorized access is not possible, especially for WLAN- or Ethernet-based networked systems and engineering interfaces. Using IT‑specific security standards, such as network segmentation, adds to the protection of access to the ports. For an overview of the ports and of the services provided by the communication interfaces, refer to Online Support. The IT security of the product is only guaranteed when used in an environment secured by defense-in-depth strategies.

Ensure that clear responsibility for security is guaranteed during operation. SEW‑EURODRIVE recommends an IT security management system in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 62443‑2‑4.
