• The TÜV SÜD certificate based on IEC 62443 confirms Siemens security in the development process for automation products
• Siemens is the first company worldwide with a TÜV SÜD-certified development process based on IEC 62443-4-1
• Secure development is an important component in the "Defense in Depth" protection concept

As the first company to receive TÜV SÜD certification based on IEC 62443-4-1 for the interdisciplinary process of developing Siemens automation and drive products, including industrial software, Siemens received the certification at seven development sites in Germany. Among other things, these sites are developing Simatic S7 industrial controllers, Simatic industrial PCs, Simatic HMI (Human Machine Systems Interface) devices for operator control and monitoring, and Sinamics drives as well as the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal engineering software. The international series of standards IEC 62443 defines the security measures for industrial automation systems, with Part 4-1 of the standard describing the requirements of the manufacturer's development process.

• 21 four-car metro trains
• Option for another 13 trains
• Pre-equipped for automated operation

Contracts have now been officially exchanged for the announced order from the VAG Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft (traffic stock corporation) for 21 metro trains from Siemens. Two options to deliver up to an additional 13 trains is also part of the contract. The new four-car trains G1 type are earmarked for service on Nuremberg's U1 line. Delivery is scheduled for mid-2018. The trains will be built in the Siemens plant in Vienna, Austria.
