The Foundation for Assured Networks

Networks are constantly vulnerable to threats ranging from malicious hackers and natural disasters to service personnel mistakes. Your network is the backbone of your business. If it’s not secure, neither is your business.

Ciena takes very seriously its commitment to meeting customer needs for assured networks. This commitment extends throughout company operations—from designing carrier-class platforms to enabling secure network operations.

Ciena products form the foundation for assured networks that serve at the heart of operations for telecommunications service providers, national defense and security agencies, public utilities and transportation organizations. They support administration and secure delivery of healthcare services and provide connectivity for financial transactions.

Assured networks are:

• Resilient: ensure continuous, reliable operation, including access to network resources for both end-users and critical operations
• Secure: prevent unauthorized access to network elements and management systems, and protect data carried over the network
• Trusted: validate network elements and architectures to ensure operations as expected without disruptive impacts to data integrity
