Cybersecurity threats continue to escalate around the world, noted Exotec SAS. The warehouse automation provider yesterday announced that it has received certification in compliance with an international security standard for information security management systems.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 also provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving systems to manage information security. Exotec said that cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important as it grows and serves large Fortune 500 organizations with extensive security requirements.
“The ISO 27001 certification is one step in our global approach to compliance and continuous improvement,” stated Hervé Lautier, chief information officer at Exotec. “We continue to invest in this area to make sure our customers don’t experience preventable disruption or harm.”
“”We have taken a proactive approach and have evolved our security framework as risks grow in technical complexity,” he added. “We strive to anticipate potential future challenges and shield our customers from evolving cyber threats.”
Exotec deploys cybersecurity layers
Exotec said it has taken a three-layered approach across technical, functional, and organizational security. The company claimed that it has implemented “industry-leading safeguards” for its robotic systems.
From 24/7 monitoring of its systems to comprehensive staff training to detect cyber threats, Exotec said it is investing in the security of all its systems and data.
The ISO certification is a result of cross-functional work over the past year. Exotec asserted that it demonstrates a proactive commitment to safeguarding data against security breaches, hacking, or unauthorized access.
In addition, the certification ensures compliance with legal and regulatory requirements for data protection. It involves regular audits and complete recertification every three years, requiring Exotec to maintain a high level of cybersecurity.
Partners approve of certification
“Cybersecurity is a critical priority for Daher, and Exotec’s achievement of ISO 27001 certification is a significant milestone,” said Quentin Juste, logistics transformation project manager at Daher. “This certification further reinforces trust in our partnership and underscores Exotec’s long-term commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity.”
With offices in Lille, France, and Atlanta, as well as in Munich, Tokyo, and Seoul, Exotec said the world’s largest brands use its hardware and software to improve efficiency, resilience, and working conditions in warehouses. The company won a 2024 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award for the deployment of its Skypod modular storage system at Lane Automotive.
