Dedicated to securing and protecting trust in the digital economy, Schneider Electric has announced its membership in the Cybersecurity Coalition, based in Washington, D.C.
As a digital transformation leader operating in more than 100 countries, Schneider Electric continues to work closely with governments, customers, and partners to play a principal role in confronting cyber security risks and challenges. By joining the Coalition, Schneider affirms its commitment to being open, transparent, and collaborative so it can better detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats across its extended enterprise.
The Cybersecurity Coalition brings together leading companies to assist government policymakers in developing consensus-driven solutions that promote a vibrant and robust cyber security ecosystem; support the development and adoption of cyber security innovations; and encourage organisations of all sizes to take steps to improve their cyber security.
As a member of the Coalition, Schneider Electric will explore and help improve how government agencies and regulatory bodies, international standards bodies, security researchers, vendors, partners, and customers work together to tackle cyber security risks.
“Schneider Electric shares the Coalition’s priorities, and our joining reinforces our commitment to collaborating with industry leaders who have the technology, expertise and unique skills required to secure and protect the digital economy,” said Christophe Blassiau, Chief Information Security Officer, Schneider Electric. “Working with our global ecosystem of partners, we will continue to push forward both enterprise security and cyber security at the convergence of Information Technology (IT) and operational technology (OT). Not only have we adopted a Cybersecurity by Design strategy, which aligns to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, our IoT-enabled Ecostruxure platform provides our customers end-to-end cyber security solutions and services to protect a vast digital ecosystem.”
