"The following text was originally created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The original
can be found at CISA.gov.

Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations users can apply to reduce risk:

- As a prerequisite for an attack, an attacker must be able to run untrusted code on affected systems. Siemens
recommends limiting the possibilities to run untrusted code if possible.
- Applying a Defense-in-Depth concept can help to reduce the probability that untrusted code is run on the system.
Siemens recommends applying the Defense-in-Depth concept.
