Schneider Electric executives to participate in Industrial Internet Summit

Schneider Electric will be participating in the upcoming Industrial Internet Summit, taking place from 15–16 February in Sydney.

She’ll also discuss the tools available from Schneider Electric that enable this to happen.

Peter Clissold, senior cyber security consultant, will be involved in a panel discussion around ‘Establishing trust and security to unlock the full potential of the industrial internet’.
