Modern day security practices safeguard a digital transformation

This paper provides an overview of the Siemens strategy for helping our customers achieve their security goals and should be viewed as a starting point for more comprehensive security discussions. A guiding principle of this strategy is to build security in, not bolt it on as an afterthought. Protecting data throughout its lifecycle is even more critical as Siemens increasingly leverages the cloud to augment and extend the capabilities of its desktop tools.

Vigilant oversight of the entire product lifecycle

As a focused technology company, Siemens is leading the digitalization revolution that empowers the transformation of industries that form the backbone of our economies. This is demonstrated by the diversity of industries our products serve, from healthcare, manufacturing, and energy to software that transforms next-generation electronic system development and deployment. As a company, we experience firsthand the same challenges our EDA customers face and thus we’ve become highly attuned to cyber security threats and vulnerabilities. Over a history that spans 175 years, security has become part of our DNA. A key guiding principle is to build security in, not bolt it on as an afterthought. Security excellence is a top priority, and thus we understand both the importance of adopting industry-leading security practices and the technologies needed to develop best-in-class products. Further, as our product solutions increasingly take advantage of the public cloud to augment and extend the capabilities of our desktop offerings, protecting customer data throughout its lifecycle is paramount.
