The Value of Team Spirit in Challenging Times
On Sunday I received a call no CEO wants to receive: “We have been subject to an extensive cyberattack.” Our Information Security Team was already assembled, and our Crisis Management Team was set up immediately. Since then, large teams have been working around the clock to contain the attack, keep business running and work to reestablish normal operations. We will continue to work this way until we are certain our systems are completely clean, safe and we can again deliver full services to all customers. I am very glad that we are already making progress on this.
