“Our teams worked together to anticipate and react to potential threats to deliver optimal service levels to support the elections,” said Antony Gallez, network team manager, NRB Group. “A major challenge of such a complex project with high stakes is ensuring our cybersecurity specialists have the tools, technology, and support they need to continuously monitor the operations.
