Handling interchangeable data media
Carefully ensure that you securely handle interchangeable data media (USB drives and devices)
as well as applying suitable safety guidelines and techniques in operation.
Microsoft Defender scans interchangeable data media for malware and other harmful code.
Keep Microsoft Defender up-to-date. You will find information on this in Section "Windows
Security Center (Page 19)"
Also identify what sensitive information is handled in the context of the target system and
how to prevent unauthorized disclosure, modification, removal or destruction of information
such as this related to handling interchangeable data media. If the customer/owner provides
his own safety guidelines for handling interchangeable data media then comply with these
guidelines. If there is no guideline or the guideline is incomplete, then comply with the
Siemens instructions for handling interchangeable data media.
Incident report
Contact our customer service for cases where the system owner/employees involved in
operation, maintenance and service identify potential security incidents. A procedure to process
incidents is initiated.
Nominate somebody responsible for cyber security in your organization as contact point for the
incident handling process.
