- Mitigationlenze_psirt
Check to see if there is an activation file on the SD Card, and delete it. In addition, it is recommended that you protect each access path with appropriate measures, such as physically securing access to the SD Card, authorizing file transfers via PLC Designer (if supported by the respective product), authorizing file transfers via OPC UA (if supported by the respective product), and customizing the key for SFTP access.
