Data security and encryption
Ironclad protection to ensure data remains confidential
Is your data secure in transit?
The challenge
Escalating cybersecurity threats are intensifying pressures to detect and mitigate breaches. Network providers must protect sensitive customer and operational data—as well as their network infrastructure—with the right security measures.
Our approach
Ciena uses a comprehensive strategy built upon proven encryption technology, including OTNsec and MACsec capabilities to ensure all critical in-flight data on your network remains confidential.
The benefits
Ensure that all in-flight data remain secure all the time with multi-layer encryption capabilities that provide a high degree of data security for cost-effective, scalable encryption solutions that are easy to deploy.
