Circumstances have propelled us to be outspoken about privacy and cyber-security."
"These factors, along with good-fortune, strong partnerships and a great team, are some of the factors that explain the appeal of our solutions," explains Racz. "We will continue to lower the friction with which our customers integrate new sensors and other systems into the decision-making of their operations."
