Fibernet develops data monitoring and encryption solutions for enterprise FO networks

The Spanish company Fibernet has presented the FiberSec security range, that incorporates monitoring systems for fiber optic links and encryption of communications in data transmission over this network.

Reference in the optical network environment, with more than 20.000 optical channels installed and in operation and with a presence of the 90% in interconnections in data processing centers of the Spanish financial sector, the spanish company Fiber network has presented new monitoring and encryption solutions for FiberSec fiber optic networks, specially developed for the corporate market. The company, who has participated in the edition 2013 of the German fair CeBIT as a co-exhibitor of the group Tentative of which it is part, has also announced its intention to penetrate new markets, including German, following the recent acquisition by the Teldat group of Funkwerk Enterprise.

FiberSec solutions have security as a priority focus, specifically the encryption of data traveling on fiber optic networks and advanced monitoring systems of fiber optic links to be able to detect in real time what is happening in them.. As Esther Gómez points out, CEO of Fibernet, “There is currently a certain paranoia around what can be considered security; that no one can access our data and that communications are secure. Precisely for this reason, Fibernet has evolved with this new technological development and is taking advantage of this market demand to offer solutions that secure communications.”.

This encryption system to secure data transmissions by FO of companies covers two areas of action: on the one hand, allows you to monitor possible physical manipulations of the FO links and, if you detect any, switches all data traffic to another fiber path; and on the other, encrypts client communications so that they travel over the network as encrypted data without the transmitted information being able to be extracted. “The FiberSec family of products allows us to detect possible manipulations, "Know at what kilometer point the incident occurs and encrypt the information.", Gomez emphasizes.

FiberSec is a range of products that guarantee security in transmissions that is made up of Fiber-Monitor, that performs a fiber quality measurement in real time; Fiber-Guard, that detects possible manipulations; Fiber-Locator, with the ability to locate the kilometer point where an error occurs, y Fiber-Switch, to monitor the status of routes and, if there is any problem, performs switching of all traffic to a backup route. “When it comes to proprietary networks of a single client, Encryption of information is not usually used - explains Esther Gómez -. But due to the criticality of the transmitted data, At Fibernet we offer a security tool that incorporates the latest developments in data encryption techniques, such as AES-256-bit encryption and generation”.

In this line, Raul Vicente, sales manager of this company, emphasizes “Fibernet's strong commitment to continue promoting the European market and the need for information protection with the union of the cloud world and the communications needs of the corporate sector, with these advanced layer information encryption solutions 1 and fiber optic supervision and security equipment, necessary to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the information in all fiber interconnections in the data center environment and most critical interconnections of our clients”.
