This is an important milestone for Egis as it is in line with our commitment to provide innovative, robust and secure solutions to our customers in critical infrastructure sectors. Together, we are ready to address the growing cyber security challenges and strengthen the safety and resilience of vital systems across Europe.
This partnership is an obvious step for us: our customers need a combined offering to guarantee their protection and increase their overall resilience, and with Egis we share the same culture of engineering excellence. We look forward to working together.
