5 Preface 1 Getting results fast with Getting Started Based on simple test networks, you will learn how to handle the security modules and the STEP 7 Professional configuration tool. You will soon see that you can implement the security functions of security modules in the network without any great project engineering effort. Based on a variety of security examples, you will be able to implement the basic functions of the security modules and the SOFTNET Security Client. IP settings for the Examples Note The IP settings in the examples are freely selected and do not cause any conflicts in the isolated test network. In a real network, you would need to adapt these IP settings to avoid possible address conflicts.

6 Preface Windows: All the examples are implemented with Windows 7. For this reason, the path information of Windows 7 is also described. General terminology "security modules" In this documentation, the following products are grouped together under the term "security module": SCALANCE S602 / SCALANCE S612 / SCALANCE S623 / SCALANCE S627-2M / CP Advanced GX31 / CP Advanced GX30 / CP / CP The CPs Advanced GX31 and Advanced GX30 are called "CP x43-1 Adv.". The CPs and are called "CP 1x43-1". General use of the term "STEP 7" The configuration of the security functions used in this manual is supported as of STEP 7 Professional V13. In the rest of the document this is simply called "STEP 7". Use of the terms "interface" and "port" In this documentation, the ports of security modules are named as follows: "External interface": The external port of the SCALANCE S602 / S612 / S623 or an external port of the SCALANCE S627-2M "Ethernet interface": The external port of the CP x43-1 Adv. / CP 1x43-1 "Internal interface": The internal port of the SCALANCE S602 / S612 / S623 or an internal port of the SCALANCE S627-2M "PROFINET interface": The internal port of the CP 43-1 Adv. "DMZ interface": The DMZ port of the SCALANCE S623 / S627-2M The term "port" itself is used when the focus of interest is a special port of an interface. IP addresses of the security modules in the configuration examples When downloading a configuration to a security module, the IP address via which the interface can currently be reached must always be specified. In the configuration examples in this manual, it is assumed that the IP addresses of the configuration are identical to the current IP addresses of the security modules. If you want to know more You will find further information on the topic of "Industrial Ethernet Security" in the information system of STEP 7 (online help). The information system of STEP 7 also supports you during configuration and programming of your automation system. You will find hardware descriptions and installation instructions in the documents relating to the individual modules. 6 Getting Started, 09/2014, C79000-G8976-C379-01

7 Preface Security information Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly that you regularly check for product updates. For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept.

10 User interface and menu commands 2.1 User interface and menu commands 1 Global security settings The global security settings are located in the project navigation. These security settings can be configured independently of the module and subsequently assigned to individual security modules as required. If the first security module to be configured is a CP, the global security settings are only displayed when the security functions have been enabled in the local security settings of the CP. If the first security module to be configured is a SCALANCE S module, the global security settings are displayed after logging in to the security project. The following main folders and entries are available in the global security settings: User login For the security configuration within a project, there is a separate user management. Log in to the security configuration using the "User login" entry. The first time that there is a login to the security configuration, a user with the system-defined role "Administrator" is created automatically. You can create further users in the security configuration in the user management. User administration In user administration, you can create users, define rights for roles and assign these roles to users. Certificate manager In the certificate manager, you see an overview of all the certificates used in the project. You can, for example, import new certificates as well as export, modify or replace existing certificates. Firewall Under the "Firewall" entry, you can define global IP and MAC firewall rule sets and user-specific IP rule sets (SCALANCE S modules only) and assign security modules. IP and MAC service definitions are used to define the IP and MAC firewall rules compactly and clearly. VPN groups All created VPN groups are contained in this folder. You can create new VPN groups here and assign security modules to these VPN groups. You can also adapt VPN group properties of VPN groups that have already been created. NTP Here, you can create NTP servers and assign them to one or more security modules. This ensures that time synchronization is performed through the assigned NTP server. Unsecured NTP servers can only be configured in the local security settings. 10 Getting Started, 09/2014, C79000-G8976-C379-01

11 User interface and menu commands 2.1 User interface and menu commands 2 Working area with security module 3 Once you have selected a security module in the work area, you can configure its local security settings in "Properties" > "General". If the selected security module is in a VPN group, related information is displayed in the VPN tab. VPN tab This tab displays information about all the VPN groups to which the security module that was selected in the working area belongs. Information about the respective participants of a VPN group can be displayed and hidden. Getting Started, 09/2014, C79000-G8976-C

12 User interface and menu commands 2.1 User interface and menu commands 4 Local security settings Local security settings are configured for a specific security module. After a security module has been selected in the working area, its local security settings are available in the inspector window under "Properties" > "General". Note for CPs: Before local security settings can be configured for CPs, these must first be enabled. To do this, log in to your security project and then in the Inspector window, select the "Activate security features" check box in the "Properties" > General" tab, "Security" entry. The local security settings are then displayed below the "Security" entry. When the check box is selected, the following settings (assuming they were enabled) are migrated automatically to the local security settings: CP x43-1 Adv.: SNMP FTP configuration Time-of-day synchronization Web server Entries of IP access lists CP : SNMP FTP configuration Time-of-day synchronization CP : SNMP Time-of-day synchronization Additional security functions are also available such as NTP (secure), SNMPv3, FTPS. In addition, firewall rules that enable a connection to be established are created automatically for configured connections. Log settings are available to record blocked packets. Secure and non-secure configuration areas The user interface can be divided into secure and non-secure configuration areas. The secure areas are areas in which configuration is possible only after logging in to the security configuration. These areas are encrypted and therefore only accessible to persons 12 Getting Started, 09/2014, C79000-G8976-C379-01

13 User interface and menu commands 2.1 User interface and menu commands authorized in the user management even if the project is accessible to a wider circle of people. Functions from the non-secure areas, on the other hand, can be configured without logging in to the security configuration. The correctness of the settings must be checked before downloading the project to the plant components if a wider circle of people can make modifications to the project. Below, you will find a list of the configuration areas of the user interface showing which areas are secure and which are non-secure. To some extent, this depends on the security module for which the configuration is created. All settings from the global security settings are secure. Secure and non-secure configuration areas for SCALANCE S modules: All the settings for the interfaces and ports, in particular IP addresses, are non-secure. The settings under the entry "General" in the local security settings are non-secure. Higher-level settings (e.g. MRP settings such as MRP manager etc.) that are not configured on the security module itself but may affect the security module are not secure. This does not relate to the global security settings. The other settings are protected. Secure and non-secure configuration areas for CP Advanced, CP Advanced, CP , CP BX30: All settings outside the "Security" entry are non-secure. Higher-level settings (e.g. MRP settings such as MRP manager, PROFINET settings, connections etc.) that are not configured on the security module itself but may affect the security module are non-secure. This does not relate to the global security settings. All the settings for the interfaces and ports, in particular IP addresses, are non-secure. All settings below the "Security" entry are secure.

29 Firewall in advanced mode Global rule sets Overview In this example you configure the advanced firewall and use the function of the global rule sets. By making the settings in the firewall of the security module, you restrict configuration and diagnostics of the controllers using the S7 protocol to the IP address of PC1 and therefore make this possible from the external network. In addition to this, all nodes from the external network can use the HTTPS protocol for communication. This allows security diagnostics of the security modules or, depending on the test setup, communication with Web servers in the internal network.
