Protecting critical infrastructure from evolving cyber threats is paramount, and fiber-based networks offer inherent advantages for cybersecurity. With native encryption capabilities, these networks secure data in transit, reducing the risk of interception or tampering. The high reliability and low latency of PON and fiber systems also support the implementation of advanced intrusion detection and prevention systems, providing real-time protection against potential cyberattacks. Utilities can leverage these capabilities to safeguard operational technology (OT) systems, ensuring the integrity of grid operations while meeting regulatory compliance requirements.
