Description (French)
Les technologies des médias et du divertissement, telles que les caméras haute résolution, les équipements de production, les passerelles et autres dispositifs IdO, ont connu une migration rapide vers les réseaux accélérés COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf). Ces technologies ont communément des fonctions de sécurité PI plus faibles et deviennent difficiles à gérer et sont exposées à une cybermenace croissante. La suite cybernétique Providius offrira un moyen pratique de sensibiliser nos utilisateurs à leur position de sécurité sur le réseau, et de révéler de manière proactive les vulnérabilités cachées qui peuvent être propices à une attaque.
