Hervé Coureil, the chief digital officer at Schneider Electric, said, “Joining the Coalition demonstrates that Schneider Electric takes cybersecurity challenges seriously and that we are committed to playing a foremost role in developing solutions.”
“Our membership ensures we have a focused seat at the table to initiate open, transparent, and collaborative conversations that advance the adoption of cybersecurity policies and laws for the benefit of our customers, partners, and all stakeholders across our extended enterprise, including the communities and environments we mutually serve,” he added.
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 cybersecurity risks.

Not only have we adopted a Cybersecurity by Design strategy, which aligns to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, but our IoT-enabled EcoStruxure™ platform also provides our customers end-to-end cybersecurity solutions and services to protect a vast digital ecosystem,” he concluded.
