Network segmentation analysis
Head of the IT Systems and Applications team: »The audit has given us a clearer picture of all the processes in our complex network control technology. This allowed us to extensively analyse all communication traffic and specifically check the network for security breaches. We were delighted with the smooth process and the direct development of useful measures best prepared us for upcoming cybersecurity risks.«
