A key solution in helping to effectively combat cyber threats in fiber optics is to directly introduce in-flight encryption mechanisms to those optical systems transmitting and receiving the information, to fully secure the networks end-to-end. Fiber optic cables consist of thin glass or plastic fibers that transmit data as light signals. Attackers with specialized tools can: Physically access unsecured junctions or cabinets. Network access control plays a significant role in maintaining the security of fiber optic networks, with measures. According to the Thales Data Threat Report 2020 by IDC, nearly half of surveyed global organizations have experienced a data security breach at some point, and 26% were breached in 2019. Digitalization, increased home networking and the gradual migration to cloud-based storage has meant that.
