Most organizations protect data at rest, securing servers, databases, routers, and switches by managing user access and credentialing. However, in today’s utility networks, large amounts of critical data are transmitted as high-bandwidth communications beyond the walls of the utility substation or data center, traversing regional and national networks. Therefore, a comprehensive IT security approach must encompass a robust in-flight encryption solution as part of its holistic security strategy. Ciena’s WaveLogic Encryption solution combines a high degree of flexibility and security with ease of operation and administration to enable a cost-effective, ultra-low-latency, wire-speed encryption solution for the utility market.
