Schneider Electric knows the business value of connecting its 200-plus distribution and production centers and converging them with IT systems. As more and more industrial environments are connected through sensors and actuators to produce data for proactive insights and services, “IIoT [industrial internet of things] is becoming the new normal,” says Christophe Blassiau, global CISO at Schneider.
Connecting operational technology (OT) and IT operations has become a business imperative for organizations that want to drive reliability, gain competitive advantage or make operations more agile and resilient.
