The new, cloud-based app runs on any device from iPad to Mac to PC, using a one-of-a-kind predictive algorithm to run vulnerability assessments across interdependent networks. “Spatially enabled solution” runs on any device The new tool is designed to help build smart infrastructure for a smart future.
