"We calibrate our solution according to the business aspect of the customer, their margin rate, their geographical deployment, and their competitive state to assess the frequency with which the company can be targeted by a cyberattack," "With the audit, we collect information on the company's existing cyber situation and automate the analysis based on risk scenarios according to the company's sectors."
