Protect: Cyber Analysis

Independent cyber analysis after install, so what is deployed stays protected.

Most cyber risk sits between systems, not inside them. Protect is the second half of Connect & Protect, CMC’s core methodology. For manufacturers, distributors and integrators working across AV, security, UC and EPOS, a post-install cyber analysis checks that systems are secure, correctly configured and not introducing risk. CMC provides the independent technical layer that sits alongside your project.

Our analysts are trained in cyber, networking and the systems themselves, and we document findings and responsibility clearly at handover.

  • A post-installation cyber analysis:

    • Protocol vulnerability assessment: Dante, ONVIF, SIP, KNX, BACnet

    • Segmentation verification: confirming VLAN isolation works

    • Access control audit: credentials, permissions and authentication

    • Firmware and patch review: outdated or vulnerable devices

    • Lateral Movement Analysis: how far a breach could spread across systems

    • Anomaly baseline: establishing normal network behaviour for future monitoring

    • Cyber risk report: prioritised findings and a remediation plan

  • Cyber risk in connected environments sits between systems, not inside them:

    • AV networks and firewalls

    • CCTV and remote access

    • Unified communications and corporate networks

    Protect looks at those connections, because that’s where a breach spreads.

  • Every analysis ends in a clear report:

    • An executive summary with a green, amber or red risk rating

    • Technical findings, prioritised

    • A mitigation plan

    • A defensible position when IT or contractors ask questions

    • Long-term system reliability

    • Clear, documented responsibility at handover

Protect is the second half of Connect & Protect. Starting before install with Connect means problems are found when they are cheapest to fix. To talk about your next project, get in touch.
