Communications Robustness

– Nohau helps to identify security risk of the device and detect vulnerabilities early avoiding expensive consequences from attacks.

Cyber attacks on critical infrastructure are on the increase and are a growing concern for both system operators and the device manufacturers who supply equipment to these systems. Attacks on critical infrastructure can severely impact service uptime, data integrity, compliance and even public safety.

Solution
