6. Spirent CyberFloode Data Breach Asessment.

The telecommunications company Spirent presented at the event the CyberFloode Data Breach Asessment system, which provides users with an exact, complete, continuous and automated analysis, through the use of emulated attacks. The goal is to be able to identify and counteract the attackers before they do so.

In short, the entities that use this application can know and evaluate the ability they have to stop these data breaches, as well as other cyber attacks.
