New technologies are constantly impacting our daily life, the professional world, our habits etc...

Indeed, over the last few decades governments have followed this global trend and have aligned
their way of working and storing data with new technologies. Of course, a field as strategic as the
military has not remained indifferent to this phenomenon.

However, this massive use of new technologies causes a large amount of data that becomes
problematic. The management of this data is becoming more and more difficult because of a
sustained growth in the means of intrusion, modification or access to this data by threat actors.

When we know how sensitive and strategic data processed in the military can affect the security of a
country and its citizens, it is important to find ways to remedy this.

Fortunately, digital entities are offering fairly robust security solutions capable of dealing with the
various attacks perpetrated by tools that are becoming more and more powerful as time goes by.

That's why we're going to talk to you about security solutions from CISCO, which is a large and well-
known American digital company.

CISCO offers several security tools depending on your needs and integrates security at the network,
cloud, messaging, application and endpoint levels.

When you choose CISCO, you join the leader in the security industry. Cisco is positioned as a leader in
the Magic Quadrant for Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems.

The benefits of using CISCO are stronger security, faster responses. Identify and stop threats using

endpoint detection and response, secure messaging gateway, mobile threat defense, and mobility
management to protect employees or contractors on managed, unmanaged, or mobile devices
