Truecom: Optical encryption is critical – how safe is your core network?

Optical hacking has been around for many years but few people are prepared to talk openly about the fact that fiber optic links are not as secure as the service providers would lead us to believe. Bernard Everett of InfoGuard will talk about known fibre optic breaches; methods hackers use to tap into a fibre optic network and de-masks the myths that surrounds the security of fibre optics and associated encryption methods.

The theory of tapping of a fiber by bending it will be discussed in details and shown in practice during the congress.
