Together with Andreas Schneider, he was significantly involved in the development and implementation of the new cybersecurity. Even in the past, when the position of Security Officer did not yet existed as such, he increased IT security within the Group by being the first to introduce a password policy and IT security training for employees. Olivier Martinet was also involved in the successful defense against various DDos attacks.
