So that ’ s been tremendous to see and I think it just means that the OT side needs to accelerate in terms of bringing different OT-specific tools to ensure your critical infrastructure is managing your potential vulnerabilities as best as possible . So that ’ s where we ’ re looking to other industries that are exclusively or heavily operational technologies – rail water , wastewater and energy can really help us because standards such as IEC 62443 exist specifically for that class of equipment . And it ’ s really something that can be leveraged more on the OT side of data centre infrastructure .
Can you tell us about your plans to evolve over the next 12 months , with security top of mind ?
Well in the end cybersecurity has certainly always been a priority for Schneider Electric so we ’ re going to continue to see that investment . And increasingly , given our experience across sectors and across OT industries , we ’ re going to continue that knowledge sharing internally and help our clients and partners maintain their cybersecurity resiliency . �
