Leading the digital transformation of energy management and automation, Schneider Electric regards cybersecurity as central to its business strategy – especially at the convergence of OT and IT, where digital threats can affect people, processes and technology across an expanded digital environment. Within its holistic digital risk strategy, Schneider has adopted an end-to-end cybersecurity approach aligned to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework. In the digital landscape, there is no perimeter. Schneider regards cybersecurity as a continuous, always-on, proactive activity. It therefore advances a cybersecurity by design strategy as both a business process and a technology development principle. Within the context of this strategy, Schneider: − Mitigates security gaps by scrutinizing cyber risk using a register that prioritizes high-value assets/crown jewels. − Integrates security at the beginning of product development within a secure development lifecycle process, implementing cybersecurity by design capabilities and digital locks to mitigate threats at every step. − Leverages cyber partnerships to secure its factories and global supply chain. − Secures IT/OT convergence with a 360° and 24/7 monitoring lens supported by a tested fast-response plan. − Takes advantage of lessons learned from ongoing Reality Checks for faster and better emergency response and improved plans. − Strengthens its cybersecurity posture by offering cybersecurity services to customers as part of protecting its end-to-end digital environment.
