To help customers develop, maintain, and evolve proactive cybersecurity strategies, Rockwell Automation provides a comprehensive set of services and solutions. The extensive knowledge and experience of the Avnet team will support Rockwell Automation\u2019s strategic objective to achieve double digit growth in Information Solutions and Connected Services by expanding IT\/OT cyber and network expertise globally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to join Rockwell Automation to further expand their already robust cyber offering,\u201d said Igal Cohen, CEO of Avnet. \u201cWe are continuing to serve our existing clients while expanding our reach to service a much broader range of customers.
