SPECTRIS PLC

“ We ' re using augmented reality technology to create guided training videos so that when we get a new starter or into production , they ' ll start wearing the goggles and it will guide them through the steps until they are fully trained ”

ADAM FORDE CIO , SPECTRIS
Something that ' s really important to me is defence in depth . We don ' t ever look for a silver bullet in terms of security and what Axonius does for us is help us to get quick and accurate visibility of the security on every asset we have across our estates and to fine-tune when required .”
Summing up the digital strategy at Spectris , Forde said it was not all about the technology as digital is a team sport .
“ Technology is a massive enabler , but it ' s also about all of the different functions within a business , understanding that the fundamental business model will shift and it needs to be dealt with urgently . But there needs to be a focus on the customer and the employee . The customer , because that ' s where the revenue comes from and the employee , because they ' re the people who make it happen and will define the success .”
Miller echoed Forde ’ s comments and added : “ When it comes to cybersecurity , we have an additional role to play when it comes to empowering people because the reality is that people are vulnerable to cyber attacks within the business , but also in their personal lives .
“ I think we have a responsibility to help people in both of those aspects . Cybersecurity belongs to everybody , and we want to empower everybody to make good decisions and to know what behaviours will help the business and themselves when it comes to protecting data , equipment and technology from cybercrime ,” she said .
Summing up Spectris USP , Forde said : “ We combine great people , providing great services with a great set of products .”
