Adva Network Security has announced that TransnetBW has deployed its ConnectGuard encryption technology with the Adtran FSP 3000 optical transport solution to establish a highly secure communication network in its service area.
As the operator of an electricity transmission grid in southwestern Germany and a European interconnection partner, TransnetBW depends on the security and reliability of its communication network to ensure trouble-free operations.
That’s why the company chose the FSP 3000 optical platform with Adva Network Security encryption technology, which has been approved by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
This solution enables high-speed connections to be reliably and robustly protected, even against sophisticated cyberattacks. Planning and implementation of the highly secure infrastructure was carried out by Adva Network Security’s long-standing partner Syserso Networks, who will also provide ongoing support.
“As a utility company, and a critical infrastructure provider, we must comply with extensive and stringent security requirements. We also know that uninterrupted power transmission is of paramount importance to our partners. That’s why we chose Adva Network Security’s secure and reliable fibre optic transmission technology. When it comes to safeguarding our communication network, we can’t afford to compromise,” said Michael Schick, Team Leader of Telecommunication Projects at TransnetBW.
“It makes sense to us to ensure the most effective protection by safeguarding all traffic on the optical fibre. The approval of Adva Network Security’s solution by the independent experts of the BSI was another important factor for us.”
