Increasing threat level
• Increasing complexity with IoT and enterprise 5G
• Higher impact as critical operations dependent on IT
• More sensitive data outside security perimeter
• No script kiddies but highly paid, highly skilled attackers
• Market for malware, exploit kits, attack services, zero-days
• Long-lasting, multi-staged attack scenarios
Expanding attack surface
Growing sophistication
• Huge business opportunities for cybercriminals
• Nation-state actors and geopolitical turmoil
• Low risk of criminal prosecution and punishment
More aggression
Need for highly secure network devices from security-qualified suppliers

Bottom-up network security
Combined optical (L1) – Ethernet (L2) – IP (L3) encryption closes any security gap
Protects all traffic between end points
of optical connection, but not the final
hops
Optical Layer 1 encryption
Site-to-site protection, needs to be at
every site and does not protect final
hop
Ethernet Layer 2 encryption
Mainly protects end connection or
application-to-application, however,
needs to be available at every end point
IP Layer 3 protection
