SecurLAN Homeland Security Applications
Fiber SenSys has an installed base of Military, Government, DOD, and DHS Clients, and has been certified and approved for defense of classified and unclassified government local area networks. With military commands and federal agencies under attack from multiple threats at every level of the IT infrastructure, and much attention given to the logical and cyber threat - mitigated through solutions such as firewalls, data encryption and others, what about the vulnerability at the physical layer?
The attacks of September 11, 2001 highlighted the fact that terrorists are capable of causing enormous damage to our country by attacking our critical infrastructure, energy sources (electrical, nuclear, gas and oil, dams); transportation (air, road, rail, ports, waterways); and also our information and telecommunications networks.
Network Security Sensors, in compliance with federal guidelines for PTS (protected transmission systems) can help prevent physical attacks from internal and external sources, and they also protect against accidental intrusions and the insider threats. According to several research reports, a significant percentage of network downtime can be attributed to network physical layer conditions and connections.
As a tool for network diagnostics, utilizing a physical intrusion detection sensor for physical network security can help determine if a threat is cyber (logical) or physical - and thereby accelerate the investigation and identification of the network problem.
Fiber SenSys designs, manufactures, and markets solutions for intrusion detection and motion detection and analysis for both Perimeter and Local Area Networking Physical Layer protection, while manufacturing a wide variety of products using innovative fiber-optic sensor technology.
Regarding the military and DHS, Fiber SenSys has been certified and approved to provide sensor solutions for vital and sensitive IT data protection under their Protected Distribution System (PDS) initiative, providing physical network security for data cables and conduit.
These certifications and approvals demonstrate our unique, recognized focus on the architecture and standards required for physical layer IT security. We are committed to providing meaningful support for your physical IT Security requirements.
