Sustainable IT Solutions

Partnering for sustainable and efficient connectivity

Cybersecurity and sustainability are increasingly coming to the forefront as essential drivers of progress for businesses of all sizes. From the smallest start-ups to the largest enterprises, the imperative to keep digital assets protected while forging ahead with increased sustainability is increasing.

The alignment of these two disparate elements offer a unique opportunity for solution providers, such as showcasing NetBotz, to leverage this convergence and create comprehensive, forward-looking solutions.

“Companies need to start looking at cybersecurity as part of ESG,” sustainability and cybersecurity experts Anna Sarnek, senior director of risk solutions at SecurityScorecard, and engineer Christina Dolan of RSA, wrote in an article for the World Economic Forum.

“Cyber risk is the most immediate and financially material sustainability risk that organizations face today. Those that fail to implement good governance on cybersecurity, using appropriate tools and metrics, will be less resilient and less sustainable,” Sarnak and Dolan wrote. “This in turn, has an impact on the other organizations they rely on, and ultimately on the stability of companies, communities and governments.”

The convergence of cybersecurity and sustainability is only gaining in importance in today's digital and climate-aware business environment. As enterprises strive for greener practices, they are also having to grapple with a growing number of cybersecurity threats. It shouldn’t be surprising, then, that these two areas can pair closer than ever when planning for reliable, secure solutions that offer sustainability.

IT solution providers may want to take a good look at one solution to mitigate these challenges: NetBotz.

NetBotz is a suite of products developed by APC that are designed to protect IT infrastructure against both environmental and cyber threats. NetBotz provides a multi-faceted approach to IT security with its intelligent sensors, cameras, rack access controls and alarms.
