Fend Presents at the 49th Annual Nuclear Information Technology Strategic Leadership (NITSL) Conference in Scottsdale, AZ
Last week, we were honored to present on the topic of "small form factor data diodes" and their top use cases at this key gathering of cybersecurity and IT professionals from across the nuclear power industry. Whether monitoring freeze protection systems or media scanning kiosks, customers across nuclear are able to keep an eye on critical assets while physically blocking cyberattacks.
