Summary

As AI, finance, and critical infrastructure networks grow in capacity and reach, they have also become prime targets for increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. Traditional approaches that encrypt only at higher layers leave the transport pipeline itself exposed to fiber taps, interception, and emerging quantum threats. This webinar examines how end-to-end Layer-1 AES-256 encryption and QKD readiness protect the entire optical backbone, from metro to ultra-long-haul. By securing traffic directly at the physical transport layer, organizations can ensure zero data leakage, no added latency, and true resilience against both current and future attacks. Participants will see how open, standards-based optical systems make it possible to integrate encryption into multi-vendor environments, avoiding lock-in while meeting compliance requirements (FIPS, GDPR, HIPAA).
