United States. Schneider Electric announced its integration into the Washington D.C-based Cyber Security Coalition. The company explained that by joining the Coalition, you affirm your commitment to being open, transparent and collaborative so that you can better detect, prevent and respond to cyber threats across your enterprise.
The Cybersecurity Coalition brings together well-known companies to help government policymakers develop consensus-based solutions that:
- Promote a vibrant and robust cybersecurity ecosystem
