PCM600 Cyber Security Deployment Guideline

There are nine update classifications defined by Microsoft. These include, for example, critical updates, drivers, security updates and service packs. The compatibility of PCM600 with the latest Microsoft security updates and service packs is tested and verified monthly by ABB. The report does not cover computers from which PCM600 is accessed remotely. In general, it is recommended to install all the Windows updates.

Windows Update vs. Microsoft Update

Windows Update receives updates only for the Windows operating system. Microsoft Update must be used for other installed Microsoft products. The updates must be configured manually.

Note: After PCM600 installation, it is recommended to update the system to the latest ABB verified patch level of all installed ABB software products. For other vendors' software products, see the respective documentation.
